One Liverpool star has reportedly decided to search for a new team just hours after the club made a new bid for Florian Wirtz.

Over the last few weeks, Liverpool have been working around the clock in a bid to get the Wirtz deal across the line.

News emerged on Friday evening that the Reds had submitted a new offer to Bayer Leverkusen for the 22-year-old German international.

The Times journalist Paul Joyce wrote on social media: "Liverpool have submitted a revised offer to Bayer Leverkusen for Florian Wirtz of £113 million as talks continue between the clubs.

"The package guarantees Leverkusen £100 million with the additional £13 million in add-ons."

However, just hours after that news, one current Liverpool star, in the shape of Federico Chiesa, has reportedly exprssed his desire to depart in the summer.

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano said: "Understand Federico Chiesa’s priority for this summer transfer window is to return to Italy.

"Chiesa loves Liverpool but limited game time an issue and Italian clubs started contacts to be informed on potential deal conditions."

Chiesa, 27, joined Liverpool last summer from Italian giants Juventus in a deal worth a reported fee of £10 million.

However, the winger was badly hampered by multiple injuries, meaning he failed to nail down a regular spot in Arne Slot's starting XI.

In total, Chiesa only managed 14 appearances across all competitions, but did score two goals and provide two assists.

Federico Chiesa reflects on tough season at Liverpool

Speaking recently, Chiesa reflected on a year filled with 'many difficulties'.

As reported by The Express, the Italian told Corriere dello Sport: "In the first few months there were many difficulties.

"If you think that I arrived in Liverpool on August 26 and found myself catapulted to another planet, with other teammates, without having trained with them, but with a trainer, no friendlies, nothing."

Chiesa added: "(I was up against) the Ballon d'Or, or one of the candidates for the award (in Mohamed Salah). "(On the left) there were Luis Diaz and (Cody) Gakpo. Slot also made me play as a nine.

"The desire to play was there, I put it aside, I understood the situation. I put aside every form of individualism."
