The 25-year-old is also understood to be open to leaving his boyhood club, with no contract extension on the horizon as he finds himself on the fringes of Andoni Iraola’s plans.

However, a sizeable gap remains between Inter’s €25m offer and Liverpool’s €40m valuation, prompting the Reds to reject the bid for the England international.
