The German international has been banned from Wolfsburg’s squad and has been asked to find a new club in January.

Bernardeschi is comfortable playing in the wide role and the wing-back position which would allow Antonio Conte to get the best out of him.

Cavani to be reunited with Zlatan again?
Edinson Cavani is the subject of a £50 million bid from Manchester United in January as Jose Mourinho looks to find a solution to his team’s lack of goals. Manchester United have been playing well in recent weeks but have failed to reflect that on the scoreline as they have drawn way too many matches. If Cavani joins United he will once again go head-to-head with Zlatan Ibrahimovic to be the first choice striker.
