Zaniolo rejects Bournemouth offer – AS Roma and Mourinho upset

Disciplinary action?

The first version of this article was published on January 26 at 3:44 p.m. and was subsequently updated with further information and statements.

AS Roma are demanding a fixed 35 to 40 million euros for midfielder Nicolò Zaniolo, who is willing to change, according to Italy. In addition to the previously favored Tottenham Hotspur and AC Milan, AFC Bournemouth is said to have entered another candidate to woo the 23-year-old. According to reporters Gianluca Di Marzio the “Cherries” presented themselves with an offer of 30 million euros plus bonuses and a share in the resale in the Italian capital.

Update January 28, 7:02 p.m.: Coach José Mourinho, who celebrated his 60th birthday on Thursday, is apparently increasingly annoyed by the Zaniolo transfer hiccup. The Portuguese regrets that the 23-year-old, who is willing to make a change, is still part of the AS Roma squad. According to consistent media, the attacking midfielder has turned down an offer from interested AFC Bournemouth – although both clubs are said to have reached an agreement. According to “Sky Italia” The angered Roma is now considering disciplinary measures she can take against Zaniolo for his defensiveness. The player decided against the Bournemouth project after a discussion with his agent and a pause for thought.

“He told me, the club and his teammates that he didn’t want to play for Roma anymore. He said he didn’t want to come back and play with the team, he didn’t want to train with the team,” Mourinho explained (quoted via Gianluca Di Marzio). “After the Spezia game I said I thought he would stay and now I’m saying that unfortunately it looks like that’s really going to happen. If you want the details, I won’t give them away.”

The offer from England corresponds to the ideas of the Giallorossi, it was said recently. If Milan don’t come up with a similarly good proposal shortly, they are ready to let the player move to the island. However, interest has waned slightly in Serie A, with the Rossoneri having shifted their focus to Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin, according to consistent reports from England and Italy. In the case of the 25-year-old Frenchman, a similarly high transfer fee of at least EUR 30 million is to be paid from the “Magpies” point of view.

Tottenham, meanwhile, appear to be out of the running when it comes to Zaniolo as the request to loan the attacking midfielder with an option to buy was not well received in Rome. The eleven-time Italy international switched from Inter Milan to “the eternal city” for €4.5m in 2018 and has since contributed 42 goals in 128 competitive games for Roma. This season he has made 13 league appearances, only going the full 90 minutes four times. Zaniolo’s market value is currently EUR 30 million – the 23-year-old is now a long way from his best value of 2020 of EUR 55 million.

“He has expressed the desire to leave,” confirmed coach José Mourinho last weekend of his player’s intentions to change, whose contract runs until 2024. The Portuguese reiterated that the club would only sell the player if the offer was satisfactory – it was also a requirement that a replacement be committed in the event of a Zaniolo departure.
