When Zaniolo cheered on Juventus and Conte

Nicolò Zaniolo has emerged as a top target for Juventus and some of his old Facebook posts seem to prove he would not mind a move to Turin.

The 22-year-old has a contract until 2024 with Roma, but the Giallorossi will listen for offers for him in the summer.

Roma could sell Zaniolo for €50-60m and multiple reports in Italy claim that Juventus are leading the race to sign him. However, the Bianconeri are unable to match Roma’s asking price and will likely try to sign the player on loan with an obligation to buy in a deal worth circa €50m.

Zaniolo resumed training with Roma today but didn’t stop taking selfies and signing autographs for fans as most of his teammates did. Roma fans begged him not to join Juventus, but Zaniolo continued driving without replying (VIDEO).

As a kid, the former Inter and Fiorentina starlet was a Juventus fan, as some Facebook posts that have emerged on social media seem to prove.

Zaniolo cheered on Juventus and Antonio Conte, the at-the-time Bianconeri boss, celebrating their titles under the Italian tactician.

Back in March 2013, when Zaniolo was barely 14, he wrote: ‘Forget Mourinho, Antonio Conte,’ adding a heart emoji.
