The London giants are among the teams
closely monitoring the situation of Nicolo Zaniolo.
The Roma attacker has recently returned to full fitness after a
long injury layoff and might be cleared for action after Easter.
The report comes just a few days after Man United were on the
prowl for Italy international, with the PL giants ready to table a €30m offer
for him. They are also reportedly willing to offer a handsome €5m per year
salary in an attempt to lure him to England.
Giallorossi, though, do consider Nicolo to be a vital part of the
club’s future despite the attacker’s fair share of injuries over the past 18
months. In fact, the recurring ACL problems have kept Zaniolo out on the
sidelines for the majority of the past two campaigns, with the footballer yet
to make a single appearance in the 2020/21 season.
It doesn’t deter Blues, however, with the German coach keen on
reinforcements in the creative department despite boasting the services of a
world-class unit at Chelsea.
Thomas Tuchel is particularly hoping to replace Hakim Ziyech as
the Moroccan attacker clearly hasn’t been able to live up to the expectations
in the PL.
In the 21-year-old attacker, Tuchel can not only find the perfect
replacement for Ziyech but also a potential upgrade as the Roma teenager is a
more tactically astute operator in the final third.
Thanks to Paulo Fonseca, the ex-Fiorentina prodigy has
learned to play in a variety of attacking roles that could aid Tuchel in his
bid to accommodate the player in his tactical setup.
