I’m focused on Aston Villa now, but my agent will inform me in case of concrete proposals, I miss Italy of course, In the meantime let me say that I am grateful to Monchi”- On loan Aston Villa star Nicolo Zaniolo hints at exit from Villa Park this summer as chances of permanent stay at club now looks bleak
On loan Aston Villa star Nicolo Zaniolo has hinted at his exit from Aston Villa this summer
Zaniolo has struggled to establish himself in Unai Emery’s high-flying Villans side.
Now the Italian has confirmed he’s set to leave Aston Villa this summer as Zaniolo looks for his next move.
Zaniolo confirms he’s looking for his next move
The 24-year-old is on loan at Villa until the end of the season from Gala. But Villa reportedly have no interest in taking the option to make his move permanent.
Now speaking to Italian publication Corriere dello Sport, Zaniolo has all but confirmed he is looking for a new club and does not want to return to Galatasaray.
“I’m focused on Aston Villa now, then Galatasaray will decide my future,” Zaniolo said.
“I miss Italy, of course… but my agent will inform me in case of concrete proposals.
“But now it’s up to the clubs to define my future: the card is owned by Galatasaray.
“In the meantime let me say that I am grateful to [Aston Villa president of football operations] Monchi for still having bet on me after taking me at Roma when I was 19 years old.”
Zaniolo has serious talent and potential. And at 24 he should still have his best years ahead of him. But he hasn’t really hit the heights expected of him at Aston Villa and wouldn’t be a big miss in all honesty when he leaves the club after the season.
