As the season has come to an end, and the transfer window is upon us, many players are being linked with AC Milan. The Rossoneri intend to reinforce the squad and one potential signing is Nicolo Zaniolo.
Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara want to sign a right-winger as both Junior Messias and Alexis Saelemaekers failed to impress this past season. They were too inconsistent and didn’t contribute to many goals, which isn’t ideal.
Gazzetta Dello Sport have published an article about Zaniolo, who has been linked with Milan in the last few months. In fact, the winger would prefer a move to Milan this summer, should he decide to leave Roma.
There are three reasons for that: 1) Zaniolo wants to stay in Italy as a move abroad doesn’t tempt him at all. 2) Milan’s project, especially after the Scudetto win, is tempting for any player. 3) he wants a top contract and the Rossoneri can provide that, while the fact that he will expire in 2023 can be used to their advantage.
Roma, however, are ready to ask for a fee of €65-70m to part ways with Zaniolo this summer, which indeed is a hefty sum.
