One of Liverpool's attacking players seemingly opens the door to an exit from Anfield after revealing that he 'still loves' one of his former clubs. Although there were high hopes for the Italy international when he arrived at Anfield last summer, it ultimately proved to be a disappointing first campaign from an individual perspective. The 27-year-old made just four starts and 10 substitute outings in all competitions as he frequently remained on the periphery of Arne Slot's squad.

Chelsea reportedly decide whether they will be retaining the services of Manchester United loanee Jadon Sancho or paying a £5m penalty fee. The Blues provided the England international with an opportunity to kick-start his career last summer by negotiating a loan deal with United that came with an obligation to buy. However, as well as that £25m clause, a penalty fee of £5m was also inserted to provide Chelsea with the opportunity to abort any permanent deal.
