De Zerbi was without the trio for the defeat to Newcastle, with Sarr also currently recovering from a minor injury.

The Italian said Richarlison had repeatedly made clear his desire to move on, while Danso had informed him of his intentions earlier this week.

“Richarlison, I don’t know, he said too many times that he wants to leave,” De Zerbi said.

“Danso came to me two days ago and he said he wants to leave.

“And the other player, Pape Sarr, the same, but he suffered a small injury. He’s almost ready to train.”

De Zerbi also provided an update on summer signing Savinho, who missed the Newcastle defeat after reporting a muscular issue.

“Savinho, the medical staff came to me yesterday to inform us that he didn’t feel good,” De Zerbi added.

“A small muscular problem, maybe Monday or Tuesday he can start with us, but the medical staff didn’t want to take any risk with him.

“Especially because he didn’t train in the last 15 days with Man City.”
