As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport in this morning's print edition, the situation for Zaniolo is complicated.
He refused to renew his contract with AS Roma (expiring in 2024) and they have decided to put him on the transfer list. However, he refused the rich offer from Premier League side Bournemouth.
As for AC Milan's position, Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara did not change their stance. They are ready to strike a deal with Roma only if the Giallorossi are open to a loan transfer formula with buy-obligation triggered in case of Champions League qualification.
It is probably possible to think that Milan and Zaniolo can talk this summer, when Nicolò will only have one year left in his contract.
