“I’m not going anywhere” – Liverpool star makes intentions clear with firm statement about his future
It’s been a rollercoaster season for Liverpool so far.
After a flying start under Arne Slot, the defending Premier League champions looked set to retain their crown — winning their first five games and showing incredible resilience with a string of late goals. Even more impressive was that they achieved this without their big-money summer signings fully firing yet.
But things have taken a sharp turn. Four straight league defeats have seen them slip seven points behind Arsenal in the title race.
Amid the ups and downs, one player who continues to catch the eye is Federico Chiesa. The Italian winger has become a real game-changer off the bench, consistently making an impact whenever called upon. Despite that, Slot has yet to give him a consistent run of starts — though Chiesa’s form is making that harder to justify each week.
Speaking ahead of Liverpool’s Carabao Cup clash with Crystal Palace, Chiesa made his feelings clear about his future:
> “Right now, I’m happy with what I’m doing. I’m not happy that we’re not winning, but I feel I’m contributing a lot to the team and the fans. I want to keep doing that to help Liverpool win again.
I want to stay here — that’s my goal. I just want to play well and let the coach decide. If I perform, I’ll get more minutes. Last year, I wasn’t ready mentally or physically, but this year I feel stronger and better prepared. I’m improving in many areas of my game, even if I’ve lost a bit of speed.”
Chiesa’s determination is clear — he wants to prove himself at Anfield. Fully fit and in his best form since joining the club, the Italian has earned more opportunities to start.
With the first team struggling for form, Slot may need to rely more on players like Chiesa to inject energy, hunger, and creativity back into Liverpool’s campaign.
