Tottenham’s links with Nicolo Zaniolo have been continuing in the Italian media for more than a month.
AS Roma need to raise cash this summer and whilst at first it was thought the youngster would be protected, and others pushed out instead, the dynamic may be changing.
The 19 year old midfield is thought to have a good market and could therefore ease Roma’s problems with a big transfer.
Wednesday’s edition of Tuttosport reports Juventus, who are also keen, are worried about Tottenham’s advances for the player. It’s explained Spurs’ efforts to make the signing are ‘getting stronger’ and Juve have therefore been panicked into action.
Anticipating movement from the Premier League club, Juve’s director of sport, Fabio Paratici, has met with Zaniolo’s agent, Claudio Vigorelli, in Milan this week.The purpose of the meeting was to try and make sure the Serie A champions are ahead of Tottenham, if and when Roma decide they’re going to have to sell.
