Arne Slot 'will not sanction the sale of Federico Chiesa' as it stands, with Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez having left Liverpool this summer.
The Reds are looking thin in the forward department and while many expected Chiesa to be among the departures, reports in Italy suggest otherwise.
Chiesa, Cody Gakpo, Mo Salah and Hugo Ekitike are currently Liverpool's frontline options for the forward spots, with young Rio Ngumoha backing up.
The tragic death of Diogo Jota and sales of Nunez and Diaz mean Slot's answer on selling Chiesa is 'unequivocal', according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
