Chelsea Transfer News: Nicolo Zaniolo, a star player for AS Roma, is also wanted by Tottenham Hotspur and Juventus. The Blues have reportedly joined the race to sign him

Chelsea Transfer News: Fichajes says that Chelsea is the latest team to try to sign Nicolo Zaniolo, an attacking midfielder for AS Roma and Italy. Tottenham Hotspur and Juventus are also interested in signing Zaniolo.

Zaniolo is almost back to where he was before his injury. He had a great season with Roma in 2021–2022. The 23-year-old played 42 games for Jose Mourinho’s team. He scored eight goals and set up nine others. He even scored the winning goal in the UEFA Europa League final against Rangers.

Because of how well Zaniolo has been playing, many people from all over Europe are interested in him. Juventus have been trying very hard to sign him as a possible replacement for Paulo Dybala, who, in an interesting turn of events, has joined Roma for free. But so far, Bianconeri’s efforts have been for nothing.

Chelsea Transfer News: What’s the matter?

Both Tottenham manager Antonio Conte and director Fabio Paratici want the Italian international Zaniolo to join the team.

Spurs have had a good transfer window so far. But they still need a creative midfielder to fill out the last third of the field.

Zaniolo would be a good fit because he can play anywhere in the last third and is good with the ball.

This is why Tottenham is planning to make a second offer for the 23-year-old after their first offer, which included Joe Rodon and cash, was turned down.

But Chelsea will now give Juventus and Tottenham even more competition. Even though Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly are both good players, the Blues have had a frustrating summer transfer window so far.

Will the move go through?

Since Romelu Lukaku is leaving and players like Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech, and Timo Werner don’t know what they will do next, Thomas Tuchel’s team needs more attackers.

The manager thinks that Zaniolo could be a good way to add to their team. Because he can play many different positions, the 23-year-old could be a good addition to Chelsea. He could be part of a fluid attacking lineup with Mason Mount, Raheem Sterling, and Kai Havertz.

AS Roma wants about €50 million for Zaniolo, which Chelsea shouldn’t have a problem with.

But Juventus and Tottenham are also interested in the Italian and have already reached out to him. If the Blues want to sign him, they will have their work cut out for them.
