The Swiss international moved to the City Ground last summer in a rumoured £7.6 million transfer from Serie A team Atalanta. In his first season with the Reds, he participated in 33 games across all competitions.
However, it has already been suggested that the 31-year-old may be planning a summer comeback to his former team. His partner Kristina wrote "It's a waiting game" next to a picture of the couple's small child at the Atalanta stadium and uploaded it on Instagram last month. The emoji was of a winking face with its tongue jutting out. The Italian powerhouses dropped a spot in the standings last season after an examination into the team's transfer business revealed evidence of dishonest accounting. In 2023–2024, they will compete in the Europa Conference League.
