Looking for the right offer. Which hasn’t arrived yet. Zaniolo’s agent is in London, and not by chance. In the last few hours, in fact, both the player and Roma are willing to say goodbye in advance. But on one condition: the sale must be definitive and must bring in the Giallorossi coffers at least 30 million. The club that has come closest so far is West Ham which, however, has presented an offer deemed unsuitable and which in any case does not fall within Zaniolo’s good graces.
OFFERING – It would be a free loan with an obligation to buy for 30 million plus bonuses to be exercised by 31 December 2023 and linked to the position of the London club in the standings. Otherwise, on January 1, 2024, Nicolò would return to Rome 6 months after the expiry of the contract. Impossible also because Roma must close the balance sheet with the transfer of the player by June 30th. Vigorelli will continue to negotiate with Tottenham who have so far been willing to take a simple onerous loan with a buy-out subject to attendance. Instead, Arsenal faded away, another welcome destination. Other foreign offers will not be taken into consideration by Zaniolo who would therefore remain in Rome until June when they could also make up for it under the A club.
