Liverpool player's agent confirms he's STAYING at the club in bombshell interview despite transfer rumours

The agent of one Liverpool star has delivered a clear update amid reports of a potential transfer.

It has been a decent start to life under Arne Slot for Liverpool as they sit top in both the Premier League and the Champions League.

However, their bid to become champions of England took a major knock on Sunday afternoon after a dismal performance against arch-rivals Manchester United.

The Reds were held to a 2-2 draw at Anfield with Lisandro Martinez and Amad Diallo scoring either side of goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah.

With the January transfer window now open, there have been multiple reports linking several Liverpool stars with a move away.

The likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Salah are all in the last few months of their deals and could walk away from the club for free in the summer.

Meanwhile, summer signing Federico Chiesa has endured a tough start to life in Liverpool, having been hampered by injuries and a lack of match fitness.

As a result, the Italian was recently linked with a return to Serie A.

Federico Chiesa's agent breaks silence on Liverpool future

However, Chiesa's agent has now revealed that the forward is set to stay at Liverpool.

He told 365scores: "Napoli did not negotiate a contract with Chiesa from Liverpool in the winter period, and the club has no intention of dispensing with the player.

"The player is continuing with Liverpool and is seeking the opportunity to participate in the coming period. This is what I can confirm now."

What has Arne Slot said about Federico Chiesa?

Speaking about Chiesa last month, Liverpool boss Slot said: "He definitely is [getting stronger]. You see him on the pitch now, it means he’s getting stronger and better. He had to adapt for quite a long time.

"I’ve said so many times, as expected if you miss team training sessions for so long. And then you go to a league where the intensity is so high as well, and to a team who plays with a lot of intensity. He is getting stronger, but he’s also facing a lot of competition in the right wing position!"

Liverpool are back in action on Wednesday night when they take on Tottenham Hotspur in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup.
