The Latest AS Roma News
The agent of Roma starlet Nicolo Zaniolo has revealed that the chances of him signing a contract extension are very high.
Zaniolo has been one of Roma's better players this season, despite his previous lack of Serie A experience. The attacking midfielder has contributed six goals and two assists in all competitions, becoming a trusted member of the first team. Inevitably, his form has seen him linked with a move away, with the likes of Juventus, Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid all interested. To warn away potential suitors, Roma have been planning an improved contract for the 19-year-old, but recent comments suggested things might not be as straight forward as planned. Zaniolo's agent, Claudio Vigorelli, recently claimed that nobody from Roma had contacted them over the renewal since Monchi left, responding to comments from Francesco Totti that negotiations are done in twos. This was a cause of concern, putting the likelihood of Zaniolo staying in doubt. However, Vigorelli has now provided some more reassuring comments. "I can only confirm our will to sign with Roma. I believe, however, that it is clear and understandable to all how there is the need to restructure Nicolo's contract," he said to Il Romanista. "I don't think I'm a visionary, saying that compared to 12 months ago the boy's situation has profoundly changed. It's enough to say that for several months I have been receiving a flood of telephone calls from many important clubs, I won't tell you who from, who offer their availability to sign him. Nicolo, however, is concentrating only on Roma, to achieve fourth place that is worth the Champions League. "In the recent past, I had spoken first with Monchi and then with [Ricky] Massara about the future of Zaniolo, we had promised to talk it over after Easter, at most at the end of the season, all we have to do is wait for the call from the club."
