‘No secret’ Newcastle, West Ham and Nottingham Forest in picture for huge signing

Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest and West Ham United are all labelled as potential destinations for AS Roma midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo.

This scenario is reported by Voce Giallorossa, who claim the Serie A side are currently wondering about what they’ll do with the player.

Market rumours are said to be surrounding Zaniolo lately, and the website points out that it’s ‘no secret’ that Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and West Ham are all interested in his signing.

Roma are said to be open to negotiating his transfer, and according to the report, they could ‘seriously consider’ his sale in case an offer of around €20-25m is submitted.

The club’s priority is actually said to be different, as they’d like to first extend Zaniolo’s contract, which expires in 2024, and only then negotiate a transfer for €35-40m.

One problem is that the player’s agent Claudio Vigorelli has been in phone calls with Premier League clubs and testing the ground for the transfer. That’s why Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and West Ham all stand a chance in the battle for him.
