Nine key facts about Federico Chiesa at a glance:

What position does Federico Chiesa play?

Primary role: right winger

Chiesa is primarily deployed as a right winger for Liverpool, but his versatility sets him apart. Liverpool FC (official club site) lists him as a forward or winger, a description echoed by Wikipedia. He can also operate as a left winger or second striker, cutting inside onto his stronger right foot.

Secondary roles: left winger and forward

During his time at Juventus, he frequently played on both wings and as an attacking midfielder. TheSportsDB (player database) categorises him as a winger or forward for both club and country. His ability to play across the front line gives managers tactical flexibility.

The pattern: Chiesa is a pure winger who can drift centrally, but his output has always been highest when starting wide on the right.

What is Federico Chiesa’s current market value?

Transfermarkt valuation as of 2026

As of June 2026, FotMob (stats platform) lists Chiesa’s transfer value at €15.7m, while FootballTransfers (transfer analytics) estimates a range between €14.7m and €17.9m. The widely cited Transfermarkt figure is €13 million.

Historical market value changes

His peak value was approximately €57 million in October 2021, right after his starring role in Italy’s Euro 2020 win (FotMob). The transfer fee paid by Liverpool in 2024 was an undisclosed amount, widely reported as around €12 million by FootballTransfers and £12.5m by Sky Sports (UK sports broadcaster).

The trade-off: His value has dropped more than 70% from its peak, directly tied to a series of injuries that limited his game time at Anfield.

Who is Federico Chiesa’s partner?

Name and background

Federico Chiesa is in a long-term relationship with Italian model Lucia Brambila. The couple have been together since 2018, as reported by multiple Italian media outlets. Lucia has built a career in fashion and modelling, often sharing glimpses of their life on social media.

Relationship timeline

The couple have a son named Tommaso, born in 2022. Chiesa’s father, Enrico Chiesa, is also a former professional footballer who played for Italy and several Serie A clubs, including Fiorentina and Parma (Liverpool FC).

Why this matters: A stable family life has been a grounding factor for Chiesa during his injury-riddled spell in England, providing support away from the pitch.

What are Federico Chiesa’s career statistics?

Club career totals

For Fiorentina, Chiesa made 153 appearances and scored 34 goals (Liverpool FC). At Juventus (2020–2024), he produced 32 goals and 23 assists in 131 appearances across all competitions (Liverpool FC). His best league season came in 2023–24, when he scored 9 goals in 33 Serie A appearances (Wikipedia).

International career totals

Chiesa has more than 50 caps for Italy, according to Liverpool FC. He made his senior debut in March 2018 and was a pivotal figure in Italy’s Euro 2020 triumph, scoring in the group stage and the semi-final before being named in UEFA’s Team of the Tournament.

The catch: His international output (5 goals in over 50 caps) is modest for a player of his talent, reflecting his deeper role in Italy’s system rather than a pure scoring one.

How is Federico Chiesa performing at Liverpool?

2024-25 season debut and impact

Chiesa joined Liverpool in August 2024 from Juventus (Sky Sports). He made his debut in September 2024 but suffered several injuries that limited his playing time. Manager Arne Slot has expressed confidence in his long-term contribution, stating in a press conference: “He’s a quality player; we are working on his physical condition to get the best out of him.”

Injury struggles and adaptation

In the 2026-27 Premier League season, Chiesa had made 0 starts and 0 substitute appearances at the time of Anfield Watch (Liverpool-focused news site) report. The same report noted he had only two starts for Arne Slot in the Premier League the previous season. His contract runs until 2028, but persistent fitness issues have raised questions about his long-term future.

The implication: Chiesa’s adaptation to the Premier League has been derailed by injuries, not ability. His €12m transfer fee looks increasingly like a high-risk gamble that hasn’t yet paid off.
