Roma and Napoli target Chiesa to stay at Fiorentina, claims father
Roma and Napoli are likely to fail in their pursuit of Fiorentina star Federico Chiesa, as his father expects him to remain in Florence.
Federico Chiesa is likely to be staying at Fiorentina next season despite interest from Napoli and Roma because he is "very happy", according to his father Enrico. The 20-year-old winger enjoyed something of a breakout season in 2017-18, playing 36 league games and scoring six goals.
Although he burst onto the scene in the previous campaign with 27 Serie A appearances, it was in this term that he found consistency and started to become a regular option for Italy, featuring three times for his country.
Chiesa getting noticed
Other clubs have started to show interest in the Fiorentina youth product, with Roma and Napoli reported to be most keen, while Juventus, Inter and AC Milan are also said to be keeping an eye on him. But Chiesa's father, who also played for La Viola and Italy, is not expecting him to depart just yet.
