"City boss Enzo Maresca made it quite clear during Friday's pre-match news conference that any player that is unhappy at the club is free to leave. Maresca revealed that Savio had said "from day one" that that he wanted to move, while Omar Marmoush has been unhappy with the amount of gametime he has had since his move from Eintracht Frankfurt. Tijjani Reijnders and Nico Gonzalez have both failed to nail down first-team places and the club stance has always been, if a bid comes in that matches the valuation of a player, they are free to go if they wish.
