The 24-year-old midfielder’s contract expires at the end of the season and he was nearly on the move over the summer, with Chelsea having agreed a deal for his services before Barkley declined. Having also snubbed offers of a new deal at Goodison Park, the club had hoped he would reconsider that decision after the sacking of Ronald Koeman.

Chiellini reaches Serie A milestone for Juve Leonardo Jardim’s Ligue 1 high-flyers host Serie A leaders Juve in the first-leg of their semi-final on Wednesday. And Allegri, whose side sit nine points clear of second-placed Roma after Remo Freuler capitalised on Gianluigi Buffon’s error to snatch a late equaliser at Atleti Azzurri d’Italia, believes Friday’s encounter has provided the perfect warm-up for Juve’s trip to the principality club. “This match, we need to understand, will be similar to the game against Monaco,” Allegri told Mediaset Premium....
