Nicolo Zaniolo is determined to make a Serie A comeback with Fiorentina, with ongoing discussions reportedly underway with Galatasaray, according to reports.
The 24-year-old Italian forward endured a challenging 2023-24 season on loan at Aston Villa, where he struggled to make an impact, scoring just three goals in 39 appearances under Unai Emery in the Premier League.
Following his return to Galatasaray after a difficult spell in England, Zaniolo now feels prepared to return to Italy following his contentious departure from Roma last year. Fiorentina has long been interested in the player and is poised to advance negotiations in the coming weeks.
According to TMW, Zaniolo and his representatives have been in frequent contact with Fiorentina to convey his strong desire to join the club. Talks are now ongoing with Galatasaray to facilitate a potential agreement during the summer transfer window.
Galatasaray is reportedly interested in Sofyan Amrabat, which could potentially facilitate Zaniolo’s move, with talks potentially involving a €2.5 million loan fee and a €13-14 million conditional obligation to buy clause for the Italian forward.
