TMW: Zaniolo poised for Serie A return this summer with Milan interested

Current Aston Villa attacker Nicolo Zaniolo is expected to come back to Serie A in the summer transfer window and AC Milan are one of the potential landing spots for him, a report claims.

As has been reported by TMW, Zaniolo has a very open-ended future right now as he is currently on loan at Aston Villa in the Premier League from Galatasaray. He arrived at the Turkish club last January from AS Roma after falling out with then-coach Jose Mourinho.

Before he moved to Galatasaray, he had been heavily linked with Milan but the club chose not to splash the cash needed to stop him from heading to Galatasaray.

With Villa not expected to sign him permanently, he may now be looking for a club in Serie A to join and Milan are still admirers of him. He could add depth to the wide areas in Stefano Pioli’s squad, and he will certainly have a point to prove.

Napoli and Fiorentina are also now being linked with the Italian who will want to ensure he gets regular starts at a club where Italy boss Luciano Spalletti can see him.

It is easier to picture those starts coming at Napoli or Fiorentina given Milan are content with Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao on the wings.
