Federico Chiesa, currently at Liverpool, was the subject of a prepared transfer bid from Inter. Inter's interest was contingent on Roma acquiring Luis Henrique. Chiesa has struggled for playing time since his 2024 arrival from Juventus and was excluded from Liverpool's Champions League squad. Despite his initial reluctance to leave, a January exit is now considered highly probable. Fabrizio Romano reported that Inter had a proposal ready for the 28-year-old Italy international as a cheap replacement. However, Luis Henrique's move to Roma from Olympique Marseille for €22.8 million plus bonus did not materialize, leading to Inter's plan being shelved.
