Jose Mourinho ready to END forward's Liverpool nightmare

Liverpool could opt to SELL several of the forward names at their disposal this summer.

Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez have failed to convince Arne Slot with Jota absent too often with injuries and Nunez far too inconsistent.

The club came close to doing a deal in January for Nunez but ultimately the bids from Saudi Arabia didn’t reach the asking price.

On the wing, Luis Diaz could also be looking at an exit. The Colombian wide man has had a decent season for Slot, even filling in up front when required, but a contract standoff has plunged his future into doubt.

If Liverpool don’t get the 28-year-old to renew on favourable terms then he could be SOLD this summer to avoid his value plummeting between now and his contract expiry in 2027.

And just one year on from his arrival from Juventus, Federico Chiesa is another name in the frame for a departure.

Mourinho wants Chiesa at Fenerbahce

Although he is under contract until 2028, Liverpool could opt to move the Italian international on quickly considering his lack of impact throughout his first season.

He’s played only 33 minutes of the Premier League campaign so far and has been absent entirely from Slot’s matchday squads too.

The former Juventus star has been linked with a return to Serie A - with Inter, AC Milan and Napoli all reckoned to be keen - but there is another option opening up in the shape of Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce.

That’s according to a report in Fotomac, which claims Chiesa has been personally chosen by the Special One for a summer transfer.

Mourinho's Fenerbahce future in doubt

“Rolling up their sleeves upon Mourinho's request, the management will knock on Liverpool's door for the 27-year-old Italian right winger,” the report states.

However there is one complicating factor in that scenario. Mourinho’s own future looks increasingly uncertain.

A disastrous 3-3 draw at home on Sunday against Kayserispor leaves Fener FIVE points off Galatasaray at the top of the Turkish Super Lig table with Mourinho under scrutiny by the club hierarchy.

His spell in Istanbul hasn’t lived up to expectations thus far, slipping out of the Europa League and the Turkish Cup in hugely controversial circumstances.

If Mourinho doesn’t keep his job then it remains to be seen whether Fenerbahce will retain an interest in Chiesa.
