Federico Chiesa determined to stay at Liverpool after Arne Slot exit
Federico Chiesa is reportedly ready to fight for his future at Liverpool following the departure of Arne Slot. Marginalised under the previous regime, the Italian international is said to be determined to make his mark under incoming coach Andoni Iraola. Chiesa finished the season with just 726 minutes of action across all competitions and endured a period of stagnation.
Slot's exit has shifted his perspective: while he was previously linked with a return to Italy, the 28-year-old is now focused on staying at the Premier League club unless it actively places him on the transfer list. He views the upcoming pre-season as a critical opportunity to reset and reclaim a spot in the primary rotation.
On his plans for the summer he said: "I’ll go on a training camp in the US, then I’ll talk to the club and the new manager, Iraola, and we’ll see." Chiesa is eager to show that his skillset fits Iraola’s high-intensity system and is determined to turn things around on Merseyside despite interest from Serie A clubs.
