Zaniolo has Saudi options but still dreams of Juventus move – report

A number of clubs in Saudi Arabia have expressed interest in signing Nicolo Zaniolo from Galatasaray this summer, but the 24-year-old is still dreaming of a move to Juventus according to reports from Calciomercato. 

Zaniolo joined the Turkish giants from Roma in January after a long transfer saga, which eventually resulted in him being excluded from the first team picture at the Stadio Olimpico. 

The former Fiorentina youth player penned a contract with Galatasaray running until the summer of 2027, but after an impressive first few months in Istanbul, a number of clubs have already expressed an interest in striking a deal. 

Zaniolo bagged five goals from his first 10 league starts in the Turkish Super Lig, alerting the likes of Juventus, who have been monitoring the player for several seasons already. 

According to Calciomercato, Zaniolo has options in Saudi Arabia, but his desire is to remain in Europe and that a return to Serie A would be his priority.
