According to The Sun, the 18-year-old is said to want assurances of regular first-team football in order to accept the five-year contract proposal on the table.
The same outlet reveals that the attacker is waiting for the managerial uncertainty to be resolved with Maurizio Sarri expected to part ways with the club this month.
