Zabaleta: ‘Roma are interested’

Inter aren’t the only options for Manchester City defender Pablo Zabaleta, said his agent. “Roma are very interested, his move to Italy is possible.”

The 31-year-old right-back has made it clear he wants to leave the Premier League this summer and test himself in a new environment, particularly Serie A.

Up until now, it was assumed he’d be heading for Inter for a reunion with Roberto Mancini and assistant manager Sylvinho.

The 31-year-old right-back has made it clear he wants to leave the Premier League this summer and test himself in a new environment, particularly Serie A.

Up until now, it was assumed he’d be heading for Inter for a reunion with Roberto Mancini and assistant manager Sylvinho.

“It’s true, Roma are very interested in Zabaleta and it is an interest that has been going for quite a while,” agent Federico Pastorello told Corrieregiallorosso.com.

“We’ll see what happens over the next few weeks, but his move to Italy is possible.”

As the Argentine will be out of contract in June 2017, City could release him on a paid loan or terminate his deal early.
