Report: Juve bid €35m for Zaniolo

By Football Italia staff

Roma have reportedly rejected a €35m bid from Juventus for midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport’s Nicolo Schira, the offer came a few days ago but was deemed too low by Roma.

However, Schira notes Juve sporting director Fabio Paratici is not giving up and remains in contract with Zaniolo’s agent Claudio Vigorelli.

The starlet turns 20 next month and broke out for Roma last season, scoring six goals in 36 appearances, although he was recently dropped for Italy’s final Euro U21 game against Belgium, having turned up late for a team meeting.

The Giallorossi need to make €45m in capital gains by June 30 and to date have sold only Ezequiel Ponce for an initial €3m.
