Bad performance + high cost, Rotel: Zaniolo will not stay in Florence and will return to Türkiye

May 12th Italian media Roma Sports News reported that Zagnolo will return to Galatasaray after the end of this season, and his future is not in Fiorentina.

reported that the future of Zaniolo actually had a result a few weeks ago. He failed to "achieve a 60% appearance rate and play at least 30 minutes per game", so the buyout clause worth 15.5 million euros was not triggered.

Overall, including the loan fee of 3.2 million euros, the total transfer cost of Zaniolo is close to 19 million euros. Considering the performance of the players, such numbers are obviously unacceptable and make negotiations with Galatasaray about lowering the demands meaningless.

Zaniolo will return to Galatasaray, he has missed opportunities in Atlanta and Fiorentina, and perhaps he will have a chance to play in Italy in the future.

25-year-old Zagnolo played 13 games for Fiorentina, without scoring and assisting. His contract with Galatasaray lasted until June 2027, with the valuation of Germany worth 16 million euros.
