And now it seems there is interest from Italy.
According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the 23-year-old is a target for AS Roma as “a name under observation”.

The Daily Mail have claimed the forward wants to be reunited with his former boss Brendan Rodgers, who signed him from PSG during his reign at Parkhead.
