Reports in the Daily Star, which recently topped the BBC Sport gossip column, claim that the 26-year-old is said to be fed-up with the amount of playing time he’s been afforded this season and wants a chance of scenery.
In recent years, Serie A has developed something of a reputation for allowing its best players to move on, a trend which has coincided with the decline of two of the league’s biggest club sides – AC and Inter Milan.
Here are ten exceptional talents from the league that could still cut it in the Premier League, if afforded the opportunity:
10) Lorenzo Insigne (Napoli)
Exciting 23-year-old winger who has recently starred during loan spells with Foggia and Pescara. Linked to Chelsea by the Italian media.
9) Mauro Icardi (Inter Milan)
Up and coming 21-year-old Argentine striker who has scored 17 goals in 36 games for Inter. Linked to Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham by the Daily Express.
8) Kevin Strootman (Roma)
Dutch international midfielder who has recently battled back from a long term injury. Cautiously linked with a move to Manchester United to join countryman Louis van Gaal by the Daily Mail.
7) Stephan El Shaarawy (AC Milan)
Exciting Italian international who missed almost all of last season through injury. Still attempting to return to best form, but linked with Manchester City in the past.
6) Marek Hamsik (Napoli)
Slovakian winger, who is something of a veteran despite being only 27, with over 250 league appearances for Napoli. Linked with Arsenal by the Daily Mirror.
5) Miralem Pjanic (Roma)
Bosnian World Cup star who has firmly established himself as one of Roma’s key players since his 2011 move from Lyon. Linked to Man United, Chelsea and Arsenal by the Daily Express.
4) Arturo Vidal (Juventus)
Long-time Manchester United target who has established himself as one of the world’s best midfielders over the last few years. Will a move to Old Trafford ever become a reality?
3) Juan Cuadrado (Fiorentina)
The Colombian World Cup winger is desperate to reignite his club career in the Premier League, and the Daily Mirror have also chipped in with reports linking him to Man United.
2) Gonzalo Higuain (Napoli)
Argentine World Cup star who has previously starred for Real Madrid. Could become frustrated with Napoli’s indifferent form this season, and follow up on interest from Liverpool.
1) Paul Pogba (Juventus)
The former Manchester United academy man has been linked with a £60m move to both Chelsea and Manchester City. The Frenchman is one of the best young midfielders around.
