Aston Villa struggle to meet Nicolo Zanioloโ€™s release clause

Premier League side Aston Villa are currently struggling to meet Galatasarayโ€™s release clause for Nicolo Zaniolo.

Villa were linked with a move for Zaniolo yesterday, with Monchi said to be keen on reuniting with the Italian. But Gala inserted a release clause in the playerโ€™s contract and want Villa to pay that, to have a chance of landing Zaniolo.

But Sky Italia report that Villa currently canโ€™t pay the clause and are looking for a deal which is an initial loan with an option to buy the player permanently. The English side currently do not have the financials needed to meet Galaโ€™s asking price and this could allow other clubs to trump them.

Zenit St Petersburg are keen on the player and have the financials needed to meet Galaโ€™s release clause. They would also be willing to hand Zaniolo a hefty wage, which could be at โ‚ฌ9 million per season. Juventus have also been linked with the player in recent months.
