Ajansspor: Zaniolo will join Milan from Galatasaray in the summer

Nicolo Zaniolo will not stay at Galatasaray for long as he will join AC Milan in the summer, according to a report from Turkey.

Ajansspor recall how Galatasaray managed to secure the signing of Zaniolo from Roma for €15m during the winter transfer window, with the deal being officially announced on February 8 owing to the fact that the Turkish transfer window does not close until early March.

Despite the fact that the 23-year-old signed a four-and-a-half year contract with the Istanbul club, it seems as though his long-term future with not be in the Süper Lig as there are already plans in place for him to return to Serie A.

The source adds that Zaniolo ‘will head to the Italian giant Milan at the end of the season’. Nothing else is mentioned regarding the terms of a potential deal, but there is a degree of certainty in their declaration.

Milan were heavily linked with the Italy international prior to his move to Galatasaray but were unable to agree a deal with Roma. However, the summer might well bring new opportunities for Zaniolo, who scored in his debut (a friendly vs. Alanyaspor).
