“My wish is that he stays because to begin a cycle, you have to keep your best players,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.

“He also started with difficulties, like the whole team, but he got his teammates on side with hard work and good performances.

“I hope all our best players stay so we can plan for next season in the best way.

“I know we have important players, who have had great seasons, and I hope they all stay.

“Still, we know how the market works and if someone leaves then they’re going to be replaced with players of equal quality.”
