Milan throw Zaniolo down by selling Bakayoko
Milan are pushing for the takeover of Niccolò Zaniolo, who wants to leave Roma immediately, and in their efforts are preparing to sack Tiemoue Bakayoko to free up a spot in their Serie A squad.
Jose Mourinho said after the game against Spezia that Niccolò Zaniolo will be in the Roma squad on February 1, but developments over the past 24 hours “show” that it will be difficult for the team from the Eternal City to get him into their squad to keep ranks.
And that’s because the Milan sirens have already started ringing in his ears, particularly from the Milan side who have him as their number one target for the winter transfer window.
As revealed by ‘Sportmediaset’, Paolo Maldini has reached an agreement with the player for 3.5 million a year, although the major thorn that now exists to complete the deal is the inability to find a golden ratio between the two clubs .
Roma are only discussing a €40m sale of Gianiolo, while the Italian champions now want to loan him out for €3m and pay another €22m for him in the summer, provided they secure a ticket to the Champions League get groups.
Just how much Milan want the Italy international striker is also shown by the fact that they are making every effort to vacate a spot in their Serie A squad, with the Rossoneri ‘toasting’ Tiemoue Bakayoko to embrace and accept Antana Demirspor’s proposal Moving to Turkey as it is not part of Stefanos Pioli’s plans.
