AC Milan have contacted the agent of Roma winger Nicolo Zaniolo to explore a possible deal, according to what one journalist is reporting.
Zaniolo certainly burst onto the scene with Roma having been at Inter in his youth career, but his most recent couple of years have sadly been tainted somewhat by a couple of serious injuries. He has a contract with the Giallorossi which runs until 2024, but the playing time he has been getting under Jose Mourinho could make him consider an exit.
The Italy international has made 84 appearances across all competitions for the capital club, scoring 15 goals and providing 8 assists in the process, and according to Sebastian Sarno Milan contacted the agent of Zaniolo.
At the moment it was simply an enquiry to understand the possible feasibility of a negotiation, but the player ‘is interested’ in the idea of joining the Rossoneri. Roma have not yet been brought into the negotiation which is not concrete, but could lay the framework for something in the future.

If it’s possible, why not. I love this guy
Yeah, I think he has decent future as Italian young core…
Good player, but has a history of injuries
Due to his previous 2 years injury woes any potential buyer should either get a heavy discount or a 2 year loan deal with either option/obligation due to the risk of him ending up injuredf again. When that is said if he can stay injury free he certainly would still be a great addition.
Before signing him, please hire good medical staff. And fire the team we have now. Otherwise we will never see him playing in red-and-black jersey.
Next Aquilani?
