Mediaset: Zaniolo holding out for Milan despite €5m-a-year offer from England

It seems as though Nicolo Zaniolo will not be joining Bournemouth this month as he is not convinced by the idea despite being offered a big pay rise, a report claims.

According to reports from SportMediaset (via MilanNews) this afternoon, a meeting will take place between Nicolò Zaniolo’s agent and the management of Bournemouth today. The English club have already presented the Giallorossi with an offer of €30m plus bonuses which has been accepted, but the player still needs to be convinced.

The Cherries seem to have gone down the route of convincing him economically, having readied a contract that is worth €5m net per season. However, it is unlikely that this operation will go as the winger remains sceptical.

Instead, the 23-year-old was holding out for Milan and Roma to agree a deal before February 1 because he would have liked to join the Rossoneri above all.
