(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 7 - Italy midfielder Nicolò Zaniolo is reportedly close to leaving AS Roma for Galatasaray for a transfer fee of around 23 million euros, bonuses included.
    The 23-year-old, who scored in the winning goal when Roma beat Feyenoord 1-0 to win the UEFA Conference League final last season, put in a transfer request after falling out of favour with coach Jose Mourinho.
    He had been linked to AC Milan and Premier League strugglers Bournemouth but the January transfer window closed without a move.
    Now the Istanbul side have offered a fresh start to the attacking talent, who has come under heavy fire from Roma fans.
    Zaniolo is reportedly set to sign a contact running until 2027 with an annual salary of 3.5 million euros and a buy-out clause of 35 million euros. (ANSA).
