He also revealed his enduring desire to one day return to the club where he spent seven of his best years.
Chiesa, 28, joined Liverpool Football Club in the summer of 2025 after leaving Turin, and has since made 36 competitive appearances for the Reds, scoring three goals and contributing three assists across a season in which his role at Anfield remained peripheral.
He was direct about the circumstances of his Juventus exit, naming the figures responsible.
"(Cristiano) Giuntoli and Thiago Motta said to me: 'Fede, we don't need you — find a club.' It went well for me. I started again at one of the top five clubs in the world in Liverpool."
He was equally direct about the version of events that circulated at the time — the suggestion that he had demanded excessive wages.
"I would never have left on my own. It was also said that I was demanding a lot of money, but the truth is different. I was never offered an extension. We never even discussed it."
The pain of that departure has not translated into bitterness.
"Juventus will always be in my heart and I would like to return. I have never spoken about money with Juventus and will never do so. I would gladly have stayed in black and white."
Chiesa has four years remaining on his Liverpool contract. With Andoni Iraola appointed as the club's new manager following Arne Slot's dismissal, his future at Anfield is far from assured — and the door to Turin appears to remain emotionally open.
