Having recently signed for Salford City, ex-Liverpool forward Fabio Borini has spoken honestly about the difficult period he endured at former club Sampdoria. I spoke with a friend of mine that was in Sampdoria and lived the same situation and he said, ‘I’m feeling like I’m healing by being away’.

“And I texted him yesterday and said, ‘I’m starting to feel those feelings again’ because it’s a long process.” Despite being forced out of the Sampdoria squad in a similar way to Raheem Sterling at Chelsea – that was Borini’s own comparison – the ex-Premier League attacker still had attributes to offer. He said: “I was keeping them together in the hard times because it’s my experience that brings me to do that and I can do the same here (Salford).” Now living back in England with his Liverpudlian wife, Borini has actually moved into the old house of Man United‘s former executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward.

Borini stepped in to buy the house four years ago and joked: “Because of the protests outside, everybody was worried so I said, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll buy it [and] get the price down!’” Fabio Borini’s career in brief Once deemed among Italy’s best attackers, he failed to step up to the top level when he signed for Liverpool. It was decided that he would go on loan to Sunderland the following season where he became a cult favourite.
