The number of teams monitoring Nicolo Zaniolo’s situation continues to grow and AC Milan are among them, according to a report.
La Repubblica (via Calciomercato.com) report that Zaniolo is experiencing another dark moment at Roma where his stay could end in June, or maybe even earlier. Arsenal have emerged as a contender after missing out on Mudryk, who ended up at Chelsea, and now find themselves with an avalanche of money to spend to complete the attacking department.
Mikel Arteta has liked Zaniolo for some time, and talks have already opened over a deal that would be worth €30-40m. The feeling is that Roma could well sell, given that the 23-year-old’s contract expires in 2024 and the chances of being able to renew it are slim.
Official offers have not yet arrived but expressions of interest have, and that extends to Newcastle who are third in the Premier League and are eager to make a signing to reinforce their Champions League dream.
For both Arsenal and Newcastle there would be a need to convince Zaniolo, who until a few months ago rejected foreign offers as his goal is to stay in Italy.
Milan and Juventus are mentioned as being keen on the Italy international, but their plan is to wait until June to evaluate a possible negotiation. If Zaniolo were to leave in January, Roma would have the necessary liquidity to sign Frattesi from Sassuolo and perhaps a central defender and a right-back.
