Roma will not lower their €50m asking price for Nicolò Zaniolo and his favoured destination is Juventus rather than Tottenham, so there are reports he could extend his contract after all.
The 23-year-old is under contract until June 2024 at the Stadio Olimpico and Inter are owed 15 per cent of any sell-on fee as part of the original €4.5m transfer in 2018.
He is available on the market this summer for the right fee, which has been set at a minimum of €50m, preferably all cash and no player exchanges.
It was reported today by Calciomercato.it that Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur had seen an offer worth €29m plus ownership of Wales international defender Joe Rodon rejected.
Now Calciomercato.com claim that Zaniolo would much prefer to join Juventus, or at least stay in Serie A, rather than move abroad at this stage of his career.
With that in mind, and Juve’s struggle to pay that figure after already spending €50m on Gleison Bremer from Torino, the possibility of extending his rapport with Roma is more and more likely.
It would give the player a salary increase and provide the Giallorossi with more guarantees when the time comes in future to negotiate a sale.
Most likely doesn’t renew, and Juve sign in January, similar to Vlahovic
Get Zaniolo! Juve 4-3-3 formation:
– Udogie, Bremer, Gatti, Cuadrado
– Pogba, Locatelli, Zaniolo
– Di Maria, Vlahovic, Chiesa
most likely you guys are wrong
He will be oncourse to join us=Juve
Selling Zaniolo “this cheaply” could turn out to be another Salah moment, where he’s worth double / triple after a season. Unfortunately he’s too big of a risk for Roma to sell and too big of a risk for Juve to buy
I said this at the beginning: he’s not going anywhere. He will re-sign in September.
Never have doubt that Zaniolo will stay at Roma.
I know in Friedkin era, we are focusing on building strong squad and brand vs Pallota stupid era (selling for profit)
hope you’re right, Dr. Mongo
Mourinho is doing som serious squad-building
@Franco – no your wrong, as zaniola already had a ACL tear – or maybe 2 acl tear- cant remember, that salah deal was a complete joke-that little fee.
50m euro’s for zaniola is fine
