TMW: Milan make first approach over Zaniolo – what the pursuit depends on

AC Milan are interested in signing Nicolo Zaniolo from Roma but they are not alone in their pursuit, according to a report.

There has been an abundance of speculation suggesting that Zaniolo could leave Roma at the end of the season in search of a more ambitious project to win trophies, and Milan’s name has kept popping up.

According to what TMW journalist Marco Conterio is reporting, there has been no movement regarding the extension of the Italian forward’s deal, with his current contractual deadline set for June 2024.

Juventus are among the sides interesting but they will not pay the €50m that the Giallorossi are currently asking for, which is why they will wait for Roma to open up to the idea of accepting counterparts like McKennie or Fagioli.

Milan have made an approach and the interest is there in the 22-year-old, but any concrete pursuit depends on the new ownership.
