With just eight games of Liverpool’s season remaining, a number of players are coming up on their final weeks at the club.

It has been a fascinating season on Merseyside, and looks likely to end in the most glorious of ways.

However, once the dust has settled on what will hopefully go down as a Premier League-winning campaign, Arne Slot and Richard Hughes are set to get to work on culling the Liverpool squad.

One of those who could well be on the way out is rarely-used forward Federico Chiesa.

After scoring in the Carabao Cup final in March, Liverpool fans wanted to see Chiesa start the Merseyside Derby on Wednesday.

But, true to form, Slot left the 27-year-old on the bench.

His bright cameo at Wembley seemingly meant little and Chiesa appears to be back to square one.

Despite this frustration, though, Chiesa has always appeared happy and according to journalist Christian Falk, the European Championship winner is still keen to stay and prove himself at Anfield.

“Not true: Ex-Bayern candidate Federico Chiesa wants to leave Liverpool in the summer,” Falk said in his Fact Files column.

“He wants to fulfil his contract until summer 2028.”

“He was also not interested in the winter interest from Napoli, Inter Milan and Lazio because he wants to assert himself on Merseyside.

“He wants to show Liverpool this season just how valuable he can be.”

Should Chiesa leave this summer, it would not be a surprise to anyone.

With changes planned in the forward line, maybe he can capitalise on that and convince Slot.

As Falk mentions, Chiesa still has three years left to run on his contract at Liverpool.
