Di Marzio: Roma accept €30m bid from Bournemouth for Milan target Zaniolo

AC Milan have new competition in the race to sign Nicolò Zaniolo from Roma as a Premier League side have a big bid ready, a report claims.

According to Fabrizio Romano and Di Marzio, Bournemouth have made an official bid to sign Zaniolo which is worth €30m as a guaranteed fee plus add-ons and sell-on clause, which is not far from what Roma’s reported asking price is.

Romano adds that Milan have already discussed personal terms with Zaniolo’s entourage in the last few days and that the player’s position/decision will be crucial in the outcome.

Meanwhile, an update from Di Marzio confirms that the English club have reached an agreement with Roma over the fee, and now it comes down to the player’s decision.

It has been reported by virtually every major source over the past few days that the Rossoneri management have been in talks over signing the 23-year-old Italy international but it is not known if an official bid has been made and if so what the formula and figures involved are.
