Reports from Turkey and Italy are emerging saying that Aston Villa are prepared to pay the 35 million euro release clause for Zaniolo.

A report from Sporx[1] claims that Aston Villa are among the clubs interested in the services of the Italian.

Also interested are Juventus and Tottenham, and a return to Roma has been ruled out completely.

Take these reports with a pinch of salt however, as the Sporx article claims it’s information is from other news sources, which haven’t had their links cited.

If true this would be a major acquisition for Aston Villa, and be a huge statement of intent.
