A return to Italy is mooted for Aston Villa attacker Nicolo Zaniolo.

Zaniolo is on-loan at Villa from Galatasaray with a mandatory purchase option, if certain conditions are met.

Il Gazzetta dello Sport reports it is unlikely that Zaniolo will meet the conditions for the deal with Aston Villa to become permanent.

There's now a suggestion the attacking midfielder will return to Galatasaray after the season - he will then be sold on.

AC Milan, Juventus and Fiorentina are interested in Zaniolo - who himself is keen on a return to Serie A.
