Massara not ruling out Zaniolo move but admits it will be ‘very difficult’

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan director Ricky Massara did not rule out a move for Nicolo Zaniolo before the transfer window closes, but described it as ‘very difficult’.

Paolo Maldini declared after the signing of Devis Vasquez that Milan’s incoming market for January is over, however in the last couple of days rumours have exploded regarding the potential signing of Zaniolo from Roma.

Every major source from MilanNews to Gianluca Di Marzio have stated that the Rossoneri are pushing to land the 23-year-old forward through some kind of a loan formula, but there is nothing to suggest an agreement is imminent just yet.

Massara spoke to DAZN before the game and began by reflecting on the Supercoppa defeat last week against Inter, with his comments relayed by MilanNews.

“The Supercoppa was a bad defeat, but we’ve already forgotten it. Every time this team has had difficulties, it has been able to relaunch itself in a very vigorous. We know it’s a good test of whether we can get out of this moment.”

Will you take the opportunity to talk to Roma about Zaniolo?

“We are focused on the match and on the season. The market is still open, even if we have already widely said that we don’t have particular needs and we continue to think this way. Then we’ll see if there will be opportunities between now and the end, but I think it will be very difficult.”

Is the team complete like this?

“We are absolutely convinced that we have a strong squad, a strong team and an excellent coach, able to compete at the highest level and to do so until the end. We are very serene about the value of this team. We are recovering many players who have had injuries and a good season finale awaits us.”

  1. Delusional. We do not have a fully competitive or complete team not even close. No zlatan = no motivator = losses. Then the true lack of quality shows.

  2. LOL what exactly do you guys want him to say? “Of course we need such and such players to reinforce x positions”? And let selling clubs raise their price on us?
    You guys make me laugh. He said exactly what needed to be said as a director. He respected the current players in the team while only hinting that they MAY seek reinforcements 🤷‍♂️

    I’m happy alot of you are not running Milan

  3. Its more then time to pioli play the new keeper Vasquez has i already said Tata is one of the worst keepers to wear Milan shirt in the 6 games we had 16 shot at our gol and we conceded 11 goals Olivier and Comp always blaming the defence and midfielders but the true is that at every 3 shots at our goal 1 goes in guaranted!

  4. “We are absolutely convinced that we have a strong squad, a strong team and an excellent coach, able to compete at the highest level and to do so until the end.”

    Trolling much, eh? 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
