The Italian is a favorite among supporters, but his on-field impact has been minimal, having rarely been trusted by Arne Slot to start important games.Chiesa has started just two Premier League games in two seasons, and one of those came after last season's title victory had already been secured.
Most of his starts have come in the domestic cups, and in total he has managed five goals and five assists in 48 appearances for the Reds.READ MORE: Why Mohamed Salah transfer to Real Madrid would make no sense for Liverpool starREAD MORE: Liverpool youngster could end 15-month wait for first-team call upThe Athletic reports that Liverpool will likely be in the market to sign two new attackers this summer, to replace both Salah and Chiesa.Chiesa signed a four-year contract at Liverpool, but is reportedly willing to take a pay cut in order to find a new club.The 28-year-old earns more than $150,000 each week at Liverpool, which is not good value for a player who plays as few minutes as he does.That is still a much lower salary than club legend Salah is on, and getting the Egyptian's wages off the books will boost Liverpool's kitty going into the summer window.Federico Chiesa is set to follow Mohamed Salah out of the door at Liverpool(Image: MI News/NurPhoto)Salah signed a two-year contract extension last summer, but it was decided earlier this season that he will leave half way through it amid the difficult season that both the player and the club are having.As for who Liverpool could target to reinforce its forward line this summer, it was reported by Spanish outlet Marca over the weekend that Liverpool intends to sign either Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig or Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain.Barcola is no longer a guaranteed starter for PSG, and a move to Liverpool might appeal to him as he looks to kick on in his career.TEAMtalk reported earlier this week that Barcola's representatives are exploring the possibility of the player moving on.Michael Olise would apparently be Liverpool's dream target but is deemed to be unattainable amid the brilliant season that the France international is having with Bayern Munich.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCMohamed Salah
