CM: Zaniolo hoping for a call from Milan – the position of Maldini and Massara

Nicolo Zaniolo is constantly thinking about a potential return to Italy and AC Milan could well be an option, according to a report.

A report from Calciomercato.com begins by confirming that Italy boss Roberto Mancini has included Zaniolo among the 26 players called-up for the Nations League finals next month, which provides an opportunity for him to show his ability again.

Zaniolo’s time with Roma ended in a stormy way and his spell at Galatasaray has not started in the best way after his red card and a general lack of cohesion with his team-mates, despite the fact he has three goals in nine games.

The 23-year-old is thinking of returning to Serie A and his first choice would be Milan who tried for him in January, but at present the Rossoneri seem rather cold on the possibility of attempting a new assault in the summer.

Instead, Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are oriented towards other names to reinforce the right wing. Another idea for Zaniolo’s future could be Juventus, but they have not come forward either.

His future remains a big puzzle therefore, and the opportunity to return to play for his country could also serve to relaunch himself in view of the summer.
