Gattuso wants to bring ex-Roma star Zaniolo to Lazio amid wage dispute with Udinese

Gennaro Gattuso wants to bring former Roma star Nicolo Zaniolo to Lazio this summer as the 26-year-old is currently in a row with Udinese over his wages. Udinese recently signed Zaniolo on a permanent basis from Galatasaray for a fee of €5 million, with Galatasaray retaining a 50% release clause on a subsequent sale. However, the 19-time Italy international could soon leave the club as he is reported to be unhappy with his current salary at Udinese. Zaniolo's agent recently explained that his client agreed to a lower salary last summer to speed up a last-minute move to Udinese before the transfer window closed, but added that the salary did not reflect the player's true value now that the move had become permanent. The agent claimed that Udinese agreed to negotiate new contract terms before finalizing the deal, but this did not happen and the player was left "bitterly disappointed" with the situation. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Zaniolo was earning €3 million a year at Galatasaray but agreed to a cut to €1.2 million to join Udinese last summer. The upgrade has attracted a lot of interest from several Serie A teams, including Como and Juventus, according to reports earlier this week. Now, according to the latest reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, the possibility has also arisen for Zaniolo to return to Rome, but in Lazio, under the leadership of Gattuso. This is not the first time Lazio have shown interest in Zaniolo, but the player has previously expressed no desire to join the club given his past with rivals Roma. However, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the situation has changed, Gattuso is a big fan and Zaniolo could be inclined to make the move. The deal will not be easy, as Udinese does not want to sell Zaniolo, despite the player's dissatisfaction with the club and his salary. Persuading Udinese to sell the player this summer will require at least €18-20 million, according to reports on Sunday.
