Soccer: Zaniolo completes move to Galatasaray

(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 9 - Italy midfielder Nicolò Zaniolo has completed his move from AS Roma to Galatasaray.
    The 23-year-old, who scored the winning goal when Roma beat Feyenoord 1-0 to win the UEFA Conference League final last season, had fallen out of favour with coach Jose Mourinho and put in a transfer request.
    He is moving for a reported transfer fee of 16.5 million euros, plus another 13 million related to performance-linked bonuses, 50% of which are easily achieved.
    He had been linked to AC Milan and Premier League strugglers Bournemouth during the January transfer window.
    Zaniolo, who made his name in the capital after arriving as a teen in 2018, had come under heavy fire from Roma fans after asking to leave and had been threatened on one occasion.
    He has reportedly signed a contact running until 2027 with an annual salary of 3.5 million euros and a buy-out clause of 35 million euros.
    On social media the player said he had been honoured to play for Roma and had "sweated for the shirt every time I wore it".
