During the interview given to the Turkish portal RadiosporNihat Kirmizimember of the board of directors of the Galatasarayspoke about Nicholas Zaniolowho has been at the center of numerous market rumors that see him close to Atalanta. Here are his words: “As far as I know, Zaniolo does not have the attitude of: ‘I will not play for Galatasaray’ at all. Many things written and said have been exaggerated, Zaniolo is currently a player of ours under contract. Future? At the moment we cannot say with certainty whether Zaniolo will leave or if he will stay”.
The same Kirmizi he then also spoke about Mauro Icardi: “It is absolutely normal that there is interest in Icardi, who is one of the most important players in the world, one of the best strikers of his generation. There is interest from many clubs, not only Arab ones, but there is no official offer that I know of at the moment.”
Important positions therefore and we remember that in the last hours there was even talk of a possible presence in Bergamo of Zaniolo himself, not confirmed however by the checks made by the editorial staff of Tuttomercatoweb. In fact, from several sources a stand-by in the negotiation has filtered due to the position of Galatasaray that has never changed in the last few weeks: the Turks want the loan with obligation to buy, Atalanta offers 5 million of onerous loan and then the right to buy.
