AC Milan and Tottenham Hotspur showed interest in his services, but they could not meet Roma’s valuation.
Roma, however, received a suitable offer from Bournemouth and were ready to sell, but Zaniolo rejected The Cherries.
Reports claimed Zaniolo was only looking to eave for a top club and not one fighting to avoid relegation.
Roma feel betrayed
However, Zaniolo’s decision not to accept Bournemouth’s offer infuriated Roma, who subsequently froze him out of the squad.

Zaniolo has been with Roma since 2018, with his contract not expiring until the summer of 2024.
