Bayern Munich are not interested in signing Liverpool forward Federico Chiesa this summer.
The Italian international has been linked with an exit from the Merseyside giants in the current transfer window.
However, the 27-year-old is now believed to be keen on staying put at Anfield for the foreseeable future.
Chiesa has registered five goal contributions in 15 appearances for Liverpool.

CaughtOffside reported back at the start of August that Liverpool’s initial position was that the club was prepared to consider offers for Chiesa.
Interest was predominantly arising from Serie A – in particular, Bologna, AC Milan, Napoli, and Atalanta.
However, with Arne Slot’s men looking short on available senior forwards, it seems the situation has evolved rapidly.
This, coupled with an impactful performance against Bournemouth from the bench last Friday, appears to indicate that the footballer won’t be departing L4 this summer.
“It’s not true that Liverpool’s Federico Chiesa is once again a topic of discussion at FC Bayern,” Christian Falk exclusively informed CaughtOffside in his Fact Files column.
“The 27-year-old Italian forward is contracted to Liverpool until the summer of 2028. It should be stated clearly for the record that Bayern never held a serious interest in bringing the former Juventus star to Säbener Straße.
“Either way, Chiesa has made it clear to the club that he wants to stay at Anfield.”

Why won’t Bayern try and sign Chiesa?
Federico Chiesa could offer some versatility in the forward line (being able to play across all three positions), but he’s primarily effective as a right-sided winger.
That’s problematic for Bayern and the Italy star, given the Bavarians (similarly to Liverpool) already have a designated starter in Michael Olise.
Beyond that,…
