The father of one Liverpool winger says his son is more than happy on Merseyside.
The Reds are heading towards a first Premier League title since 2020 and currently boast a 12-point lead over Arsenal heading into the final nine games of the campaign.
Confidence is high at Anfield but with their chatter about the future of certain individuals ahead of the summer, manager Arne Slot has been handed a new boost.
Could Liverpool be about to hold onto a key player ahead of their summer reshape?
As we know, Slot inherited a strong squad from Jurgen Klopp last summer but talk has hinted that the Dutchman may wish to put his own stamp on matters.
Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold all could leave the club in the next few months but it is another player who now looks set to stay despite past rumours suggesting otherwise.
Federico Chiesa has played only 11 games for the Reds in 2024/25 but is poised to stay and fight for a place in the team, according to his old man.
Speaking to Italian outlet Tuttosport, the former Juventus man is happy in England and is looking forward to winning the Premier League title, with most expecting Liverpool to wrap up the title in the new few weeks.
“Federico is doing great in Liverpool, he is in a top club that is first in the league and now we hope they win the Premier League!” Enrico Chiesa began. “He is there to play his cards, he has a great chance.
“This summer I told him what I have been telling him since he was little. Because, in reality, until he was 15 he didn’t play often and when he asked me ‘What should I do?’ I told him to keep training, not to give up, to be ready when his time came.”
Chiesa – who is the seventh-most expensive Italian player of all time – has struggled for consistent game time all season, especially given the stunning form seen by the likes of Salah, Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo.
In FourFourTwo’s view, the 27-year-old has shown flashes of brilliance but will be hoping for more game time next season, with exit’s expected on Merseyside.
