Emanuele Giaccherini “could decide his future within two days” and eyes a Sunderland exit, confirms his agent.
The creative midfielder managed only 11 games last season between the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup.
He had been adamant that he would not walk away from the Black Cats, but there has been a change of heart.
“We had a rethink on the situation that has been created in England,” confessed agent Furio Valcareggi on SportItalia.

“We had a rethink on the situation that has been created in England,” confessed agent Furio Valcareggi on SportItalia.
“Time is limited and we’ll see what happens, but he is a top level figure who needs to play consistently after a season characterised by injuries.
“He lost all of last year and now cannot afford to lose another chance. This is the year leading up to Euro 2016 and he really wants to be there.
“Could he return to Italy? We’ll see, as anything could happen. He is certainly not lacking for offers.
“Taking part in the European Championship would be a triumph for Giaccherini, who still has a lot of respect within the Azzurri camp.
“He could decide his future within two days.”
Italy Coach Antonio Conte was famously furious when Juventus sold Giaccherini to Sunderland in 2013 for £5.25m.
