AC Milan are still interested in exploring a deal for Nicolo Zaniolo as they are having difficulties signing their main target, a report claims.
According to the latest from TMW, Zaniolo hasn’t closed the door on a return to Italy despite starting his career at Galatasaray in a positive way, and for this reason Juventus remain a possible option for him.
A summit between the various delegations took place in Milan and the outcome was that Galatasaray are blocking things because they will not accept players as counterparts, but Juve’s interest is now clear.
However, they may face competition. Milan are finding it difficult to sign Villarreal’s Samuel Chukwueze because of the €40m asking price and as such have returned to Zaniolo as an alternative.
Chief scout Geoffrey Moncada likes the former Roma man a lot and the Rossoneri tried to sign him during the January window before he ended up in Turkey.
Zaniolo has become Balotelli 2.0…
So why does Juve (still) wants him? I believe he just needs a right environment. Ironically, just like Balotelli. His 1st spell on Milan can be considered as his most successful spell in a club.
Don’t do that.
Don’t compare Zaniolo with Balotelli.
Balotelli was a very good player who was immature, but his production on the field in inter, ManCity and Milan was very good.
Zaniolo is just an overhyped average player with bad attitude and even worse production on the field.
Compare Balotelli numbers and production with Zaniolo’s
Yes, Zaniolo is just an average player, while Balotelli can become one of the best players if he improves his attitude.
“Milan are finding it difficult to sign Villarreal’s Samuel Chukwueze because of the €40m asking price and as such have returned to Zaniolo as an alternative.”
Villarreal will end up selling Chukwueze this summer and they will get less than €40m in return. These two facts I would bet my life on. With the insanity of the current market, I guess I can’t knock the hustle of them trying though.
Skipp zaniolo go for arda guller!!
I heard that Moncada told Maldini that Zaniolo was good.
Maldini had never heard of him before.
