Contract Talks Between Nicolo Zaniolo and Roma Halt as Tottenham Prepare Offer

After previously being confident of signing a new deal at Roma, differences are reported to have arisen regarding Nicolo Zaniolo's wage demands, allowing Tottenham the chance to make their move to sign the youngster.

Roma's Young Player of the Season has had a breakout year, yet had already been looking to sign an improved deal with the Serie A giants.

Calciomercato report that the differences in the contract offer stand at €1m less in wages than what Zaniolo has demanded. They state that this allows Tottenham to make their offer, which The Express have reported to be at close to £35m.
