Sky: Zaniolo totally frozen out as Roma make asking price clear ahead of summer

Nicolo Zaniolo has been frozen out of Roma’s plans after not accepting a move to Bournemouth, according to a report.

Sky (via Football Italia) are claiming that Roma have made the decision to exclude Zaniolo from their plans after he rejected a January move to Premier League strugglers Bournemouth. In addition to that, they have made it clear he will not leave before the window shuts or during the summer for an offer below the €35-36m the Cherries put forward last week.

Bournemouth had a fee agreed with the Giallorossi but did not manage to convince Zaniolo to agree personal terms, which has annoyed the management and means he won’t play for Roma again this season.

It was reported by Sky that the 23-year-old was holding out for a move to Milan as he wanted to stay in Italy, so a new attempt in the summer could come from the Rossoneri given his contract at the Stadio Olimpico runs out in June 2024.
