Rome, Zaniolo’s no to Bournemouth: Friedkin and agents’ attempts are useless | First page

Nicolò Zaniolo said no, and the answer is unlikely to change. Bournemouth executives met the player’s entourage a little while ago to try to get a yes after the one collected by Roma. On the plate a contract worth over 4 million per season and the possibility of opening up to a release clause in the event of relegation. But Zaniolo was adamant. A refusal to a not very famous club and too far from the family. The attempts of convincing by the agents and by Rome itself were useless even if the official answer will arrive tomorrow. Dan Friedkin, very angry, made it known that Zaniolo risks being sidelined from the team until June. A big risk 4 days now from the end of the market. The chances of success on other fronts are few: Milan can’t sign him outright, Tottenham and Arsenal have never seriously thought about it. Also fades Ziyech in this way.
