Suggestion that the Villarreal deal isn’t as easy as it sounds. According to this source, they can’t afford GLC let alone N’Dombele.



Well, if that is true, that’s very annoying. Although imagine if the scum buying someone I’ve never heard of helped them buy Lo Celso and Ndombele! 😂

Mikel Arteta's Woolwich are also set to beat Liverpool to the £33m signing of Villarreal's Spanish winger Yeremi Pino, 19, from the cash-strapped Spanish side. (Metro)

Definitely a loan if this rumour is legit knowing how much of a cheapskate that De Laurentis can be.

Any move for Ndombele will be a loan, he’s a suspect player on huge wages. Interested clubs will want to try before they buy, if they ever do.

It really is frightening that we’ve ended up paying a rubbish player like him the kind of salary that elite midfielders at the super clubs get. Basically impossible to get rid of him without just paying up his contract.
 
That we had finally agreed a deal with Roma but then Jose scuppered the deal and convinced the board not to sell and the player to stay and sign a new contract which seems likely he will


What is the point of going for these more established Italian players in Serie A. We never get them over the line, so what is the point? Italian players rarely want to move from Italy. Just a pointless exercise chasing them all summer, then they sign new contracts at their clubs.
 
What does this even say. We have reached a deal, but he is staying. Rather contradictionary (is that a word?)


I think the story comes an article published by Corrier delo Sport.

Rome, Zaniolo at Tottenham: Mourinho stops everything

The club on Thursday had reached an agreement for a loan with obligation, but José convinced Nicolò by telling him that this is an important season for the Giallorossi and therefore also for him: for his sake he must stay.

ROME - Rome reacquires Zaniolo. Nicolò was persuaded to stay, even if last week he had his bags ready, destined for London. It was Mourinho who imposed himself, making a pact with the player, who was convinced to stay. The performance of the Olimpico last Sunday, like the previous ones in Portugal, highlighted the strong motivations of the player, convinced of carving out his space in the new Rome. But the negotiations with Tottenham had come a long way. Conte insisted a lot on having the Giallorossi talent. In a blitz in London to negotiate Kluivert with Fulham last week, a few days before the friendly against Shakhtar Donetsk, Tiago Pinto got into the heart of the operation with Tottenham for the blue. An agreement has been reached for the sale on loan with the obligation to redeem about 50 million, with the obligation that is triggered when certain sporting results are achieved. Tottenham then contacted Zaniolo's entourage, obtaining the player's approval, offering a salary of 4,

Dietrofront

But Mourinho's pressing and Zaniolo's evening at the Olimpico, with the warmth of the fans, blew up the table. Yesterday morning there was a new contact between Rome and Tottenham and the Giallorossi club changed the conditions: no longer a loan with obligation, but only a definitive transfer, for 50 million. For the English club, struggling with numerous sales, the operation was no longer viable. Zaniolo remains with Roma, thanks to the pact reached with Mourinho, who does not want to start him this year. The coach told him that this is an important season for Roma and therefore also for him: for his sake he must stay. He invited him to sign the contract, then next year he can go away earning even more. At this point, the renewal of Zaniolo's contract becomes a priority.

Found again

Nicolò has found the mood of the best days. He feels loved by the fans. On Monday he celebrated his sister's birthday with friends and relatives, he shared his positive feelings for the new season. And this week he went to dinner with some companions, almost as if he wanted to get closer to the group. Everyone advised him to stay, complimented him on his physical condition, he worked during the summer and lost seven kilos. He is dry, he has found the inspiration for his accelerations that often make him impregnable. But Nicolò has not lost his spirit. A few seconds before taking the field against Shakhtar Donetsk he hinted at some disco dance moves, making his closest teammates, Spinazzola and Bove, die with laughter. Images that have gone viral on social media. In recent days he has made a joke on a new companion who has invited him to have more respect. Mourinho is interested in what he does on the pitch and Zaniolo can be decisive this year in a front-wheel drive team. Nicolò works hard and scores. He had considered the transfer, but now he seems to have found a great feeling with the Giallorossi environment. An indication of this change of course also comes from social networks. On his Instagram profile, Zaniolo removed the previous profile image, which depicted him "in civilian clothes" and put a shot that portrays him with the Roma shirt, in the moment of the exultation addressed to the Curva Sud after last Sunday's goal. .
