Despite the interest of several Italian clubs, the former Roma player seems to be destined for Spain, the Villarreal in particular.

Zaniolo’s new stage

The ransom (set at 27 million euros) he wasn’t even taken into consideration by the English who sent him back to Türkiye without thinking too much.

And this is where interesting doors could open: the only team to actually come forward for him was Marcelino’s Villarreal, who finished eighth in the last Liga and are eager to take some steps forward for next season.

The experience with Roma ended very abruptly, but our championship remains his greatest ambition. In some interviews he had opened up to the concrete possibility of a return, with Milan as the backdrop to this possible transfer which in the end did not accelerate as everyone expected.
