Galatasaray winger Nicolo Zaniolo, who is spending this season on loan at Aston Villa, is unlikely to stay in Foggy Albion.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the club from Birmingham are not inclined to pay 22.5 million euros for the player on the background of low performance, which can be used by Serie A clubs.
In case Zaniolo returns to the banks of the Bosphorus, Juventus, Milan and Fiorentina, who are interested in employing the 24-year-old winger, will compete for the player. The player's contract stipulates a 35 million euro pay-off.
The winger's performance this season is dismal. He has scored only two goals in 27 games for Aston Villa, and since the end of December he has lost Unai Emery's confidence and receives a small share of playing time.
Earlier, we informed that Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners has agreed a move to Juventus.
