Aston Villa has reportedly decided against pursuing a permanent deal for Nicolo Zaniolo. Recent reports from Turkey suggest that the on-loan Galatasaray midfielder’s future is uncertain, as he failed to convince Unai Emery to sign him permanently during the summer transfer window. Despite initially being expected to play a significant role in Villa’s season, the 24-year-old Italian has struggled to make an impact. Since the beginning of the year, Zaniolo has only played for 62 minutes, a statistic that makes it highly unlikely for Villa to exercise their buy option for the player. Whether he returns to Turkey to fight for his place at Galatasaray or seeks another transfer, it seems clear that Zaniolo’s time at Villa is coming to an end.
