Zaniolo's transfer from Galatasaray to Udinese has hit a deadlock. The Galatasaray management is demanding a mandatory purchase option for Zaniolo's transfer, but Udinese does not accept this condition. There are also reports that Zaniolo wants to stay at Galatasaray and is open to continuing his career in Istanbul.
The uncertainty regarding Nicolo Zaniolo's future at the Super Lig giant Galatasaray continues. According to reports in the French press, the transfer negotiations for the Italian footballer have reached an impasse.
Galatasaray's management is demanding a mandatory purchase option for Zaniolo, while Serie A team Udinese is reluctant to accept this condition. This obstacle is emerging as the most significant factor hindering the progress of the transfer negotiations.
WANTS TO STAY AT GALATASARAY
Another important factor in the stalling of the transfer is Zaniolo's personal preference. It has been reported that the 26-year-old player wants to stay at Galatasaray and is open to continuing his career in Istanbul. The French press stated that Zaniolo has communicated this decision to the yellow-red management. This situation strengthens the club management's position while weakening Udinese's offer.
