There is a risk of dragging things out for Nicolò Zaniolo. The former Roma striker would like to return to Italy, but Galatasaray is asking for around 20 million and has no intention of opening up to a loan with an option to buy, at least at this stage. Atalanta is offering 5 million plus 15 million to buy, but has no intention of opting for an obligation: the feeling is that the Nerazzurri’s idea is to offer the same deal as Aston Villa, with an obligation that would come true under certain conditions.
Instead, Fiorentina is ready to sign him on a permanent basisbut the offer is lower and is around 2 million plus 14 million for the buyout. A range that, at least for now, does not allow for a rapprochement. Villarreal is also interested in the player, but Serie A would be the preferred choice for Zaniolo who, after a year and a half abroad, would like to return to a club that can relaunch him definitively.
Gasperini would like to coach Nicolò Zaniolo. Because, a bit like what happened with Charles De Ketelaere, it would be a personal success to relaunch him after a few seasons of light and shade. And then it would be an important addition that could further raise the quality of an already very strong offensive department that can count on Scamacca, Touré, De Ketelaere, Lookman and Miranchuk.
