Azure – Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Extensions.Logging, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, The system cannot find the file specified

I am trying to include serilog in my Azure function App project (.net 6), My Startup.cs

public override void Configure(IFunctionsHostBuilder builder)
 {
        Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
        .WriteTo.Console()
        .WriteTo.AzureAnalytics(workspaceId: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
        authenticationId: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")
        .CreateLogger();

        builder.Services.AddLogging(lb => lb.AddSerilog(Log.Logger,true));

        ConfigureServices(builder.Services);
    }

    private void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.RegisterApplicationServices();

    }

My csproj

Everything seems to be in place but I am getting this error when running the app locally
