Zaniolo agent on ‘wonderful’ Milan rumours for Roma starlet

Nicolò Zaniolo’s agent said an offer from Milan ‘would be wonderful news’ for the Roma talent, as his future remains in doubt.

There were reports today that the Rossoneri were targeting the Italy international for their Champions League campaign and push to retain the Serie A title.

A proposal was rumoured to be cash plus Alexis Saelemaekers to bring Zaniolo to San Siro and the comments from his agent this evening certainly were not discouraging the rumours.

“It would be wonderful news, but I don’t know anything about it,” Claudio Vigorelli told Sportitalia.

Zaniolo turns 23 next month and scored eight goals with nine assists in 42 competitive games for Roma this season.

However, injury problems continue to plague him, even after recovering from a double anterior cruciate ligament tear.

It would be a return to the city of Milan, albeit the other side of it, as Zaniolo was in the Inter youth team in 2017-18 before his sale to Roma as part of the Radja Nainggolan move.

His contract with the Giallorossi runs to June 2024, but there are big question marks over his future, with Juventus also interested.
