Liverpool Football Club is bracing for a potential departure of a key player in the upcoming January transfer window.

Despite starting the season strong with a flawless record and four consecutive wins, the Reds have been grappling with selection dilemmas due to their deep roster following a busy transfer market.

With six forwards jostling for playing time, one player, Federico Chiesa, seems poised for an exit after being publicly sidelined.

The club has seen significant changes, breaking their transfer record twice during the summer to bolster their attacking lineup, especially following the unfortunate passing of Diogo Jota and the sale of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich.

Now, with stars like Alexander Isak, ranked among the top strikers globally, leading the frontline, and intense competition from Cody Gakpo and Hugo Ekitike, concerns about starting positions have intensified.

Transfer expert Pete O'Rourke revealed on The Inside Track podcast that Chiesa's exclusion from Liverpool's Champions League squad has raised eyebrows, making him a target for clubs eyeing a January acquisition.

With the impending arrival of Isak complicating matters, O'Rourke speculated, "Will this push Chiesa even further down the pecking order? It likely will."

Despite his limited appearances at Anfield, insider sources report that Liverpool has no immediate plans to part ways with the Italian, especially with Mohamed Salah set to miss crucial winter matches for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Interestingly, Chiesa appears content with his current role as a secondary option, but with previous interest in his talents, it’s uncertain whether he will remain at Anfield past the summer.

As the transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Chiesa and the evolving dynamics of Liverpool's formidable forward line.
