More notably, he’s completed the second-most key passes of any player in Serie A, an impressive 55, and ranks seventh in terms of completed crosses with 1.5 per match.

According to Calcio Mercato, the 26-year-old’s performances have gained interest from Premier League trio Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City as they plan recruitment for the summer transfer window.

He’s been on the Reds’ radar for some time, whilst Antonio Conte has reportedly mooted Bonaventura as a potential signing for his first transfer window at Stamford Bridge.
