Blocking Nicolo Zaniolo from Juventus’ Hunt, Roma Gives Increased Salary

DBasia.news –  The 2018-19 season will not be forgotten by Nicolo Zaniolo. Having just moved from Inter Milan to AS Roma, the 18-year-old has invited sensation and is part of the core of Eusebio Di Francesco’s side.

So far he has featured in a total of 22 matches, with his best performances occurring in the last 16 of the Champions League against FC Porto. In the match won by AS Roma with a score of 2-1, Zaniolo became the scorer of two valuable goals for his team.

Seeing the impressive appearance of this Italian player, the AS Roma was rumored to have considered giving him a new contract with a significant increase in money. Reporting from Calcio Mercato, AS Roma’s efforts are alleged to drive the interest of their rivals, Juventus, who reportedly wants the Fiorentina academy product service.

Zaniolo himself still has a contract until 2023. However, with a salary that is only around 700,000 euros per year, Juventus can clearly offer a much greater amount. Therefore, the same source states that AS Roma is ready to offer contract extensions up to 2024 with salary increases reaching two million euros per year plus bonuses.
