Roma's Nicolo Zaniolo agrees €20m Galatasaray transfer after Jose Mourinho's public criticism

Baku, February 8, AZERTAC

Nicolo Zaniolo is reportedly set to complete a permanent move from Roma to Galatasaray after being publicly criticised by Jose Mourinho, according to Goal.com.

The Italian midfielder has been penciled in for a medical with the Turkish club and will move from Roma in a deal that could end up being worth €20 million including add-ons, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Zaniolo is expected to sign a four-and-a-half-year contract which will keep him on Galatasaray's books until 2027, and it will also include a €35m release clause.

The Turkish window remains open until February 8, which has allowed Zaniolo to find a way out of Roma.

The 23-year-old will hope to complete his medical and contract formalities as quickly as possible so that he is available for Galatasaray's next Super Lig fixture against Gaziantep.

Meanwhile, Roma will continue business as usual in Serie A with a trip to Leece on Saturday.
