Gattuso seeks to bring Zaniolo to Lazio amid Udinese salary issue

Summary

Gennaro Gattuso is interested in signing Nicolo Zaniolo from Udinese this summer, who is reportedly unhappy with his salary. Zaniolo recently joined Udinese permanently from Galatasaray, but feels undervalued after accepting a pay cut to facilitate the move. His agent expressed disappointment over the lack of discussions regarding a revised contract. Lazio has shown interest in Zaniolo before, and Gattuso's admiration for the player could entice him to switch from Udinese, despite that club's reluctance to sell. Udinese may demand a transfer fee in the range of €18m-€20m for Zaniolo.
