Nicolò Zaniolo is reportedly gearing up for a return to Italy, with Serie A side Napoli reportedly in the lead to sign him. The former Roma midfielder has struggled to shine during a loan spell at Aston Villa, with just 3 goals in 34 appearances across all competitions, and now he’s eager to reignite his career in Serie A. Despite his recent challenges, manager Luciano Spalletti is keen to put his faith in Zaniolo, and barring any surprises, he’s expected to be part of the Italian national team squad for the upcoming European Championships starting in two months.
Calciomercato report that as Zaniolo prepares for a possible homecoming and two teams stand out as primary contenders: Fiorentina and Napoli. The latter, with Giovanni Manna set to become the new director of sport, has expressed keen interest in acquiring Zaniolo. However, there remains a dilemma regarding the presence of Matteo Politano and Calvin Ngonge as left-sided wingers.
Confirmation of Napoli’s interest in Zaniolo comes not only from the club’s side but also from the player’s own entourage. Speaking to Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, they stated, “Napoli is a wonderful city, and the truth is that it would be a very welcome solution for Nicolò.”
