Nicolo Zaniolo is increasingly happier at Galatasaray. His ambition now is to play the Champions League with the Turkish club next season. He said so in a recent interview. Whether these were just polite words or not, only time will tell. Nicolò wants to do well in Turkey to repay the affection that people have shown him since day one. However, the sirens of the transfer market are ready to sound in the next summer, with two Italian clubs very interested: Milan and Juventus, according to Calciomercato.com.
Zaniolo's contract with Galatasaray has some exits, although expensive ones. The buy-out clause is a whopping 35 million euros, a figure that will decrease to 30 million euros in January 2024 and to 28 million euros for the summer of 2024.
Juventus, on the other hand, are closely following the situation and would like to potentially open negotiations. As for AC Milan, Paolo Maldini insisted to Zaniolo, a few hours before departing for Istanbul, that a new attempt will be made already next summer. Now it's up to Nicolò to demonstrate on the field that he is worth this type of investment.
