Zaniolo's dream is to return to Galatasaray

Nicolo Zaniolo, the 25-year-old currently playing on loan for Italian Serie A side Fiorentina, is in the spotlight with his intention to return to Galatasaray. After being sidelined at Roma, Zaniolo transferred to Galatasaray during the 2022-23 mid-season break, but has failed to deliver the expected performance at the clubs where he was sent on loan.

Initially loaned to Aston Villa, Zaniolo had chosen not to return to Galatasaray last summer. However, the Italian player, who also failed to find what he was looking for at Atalanta, was loaned to Fiorentina. There, Zaniolo has appeared in only 10 matches, starting in the first 11 just 4 times.

FIORENTINA'S DIFFICULT DECISION

Although Fiorentina wants to add Zaniolo to their squad, they are reluctant to pay the 15.5 million Euro buyout fee. Zaniolo, for his part, plans to return to the yellow-reds if Galatasaray wins the league title this season and secures a direct spot in the Champions League. Zaniolo is acting in line with this goal, as he wants to compete in the Champions League wearing the Galatasaray jersey and achieve a new breakthrough in his career.

HIS FUTURE DEPENDS ON GALATASARAY

Zaniolo, who has played a total of 33 matches this season with 3 goals and 2 assists, had contributed to 5 goals in 10 Süper Lig matches during his time at Galatasaray. It appears that the Italian footballer's future will be shaped by the success Galatasaray achieves at the end of the season.
