Following the expiration of his contract in December, Lingard began exploring his options, and that search appears to be nearing a conclusion. While he has held talks with several clubs in England, the Daily Mail reports that another overseas adventure now looks the most likely outcome. Specifically, Lingard is said to be in advanced discussions with Serie A sides, opening the door to a potential move to Italy.
There is plenty of plotting to be done at Old Trafford and they are keen to bring in some young talent. One man on the Manchester United shortlist is Chelsea's 19-year-old Tyrique George, who has become something of a fringe figure at Stamford Bridge in recent times. Other options for the recruitment bods are Milan's Rafael Leao and Everton's Iliman Ndiaye.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are actively exploring the possibility of re-signing the Italian forward, who has endured a frustrating spell at Anfield despite being part of a Premier League title-winning squad. Chiesa arrived at Liverpool with high expectations following his impressive displays in Italy, where he became one of Serie A's most dynamic attackers. However, his time in England has not unfolded as hoped.
Inter started with a stronger squad, while Milan, at least on paper, are aiming to get back into the European competition, even though there are always those who expect something more. I believe that at least as of now, the Serie A standings reflect the strengths of the leading teams, especially those who will be competing for the title between now and next May.

This challenge has helped me grow as a player, to read the plays. "I've also been more decisive with the injury. We're managing it well, the staff and everyone is working really well. I'll be back to 100% soon."
