Sources: Tottenham offer three stars in Nicolo Zaniolo swap seal
Tottenham are offering Roma one of three stars as part of a potential swap deal for Nicolo Zaniolo, sources have told Football Insider.
Bryan Gil is believed to be one of the players on offer as Spurs continue talks to sign the 23-year-old attacking midfielder on a loan-to-buy deal this month.
Roma are willing to sell Zaniolo this month but are holding out for a £30m permanent deal.
The Londoners are trying to smooth negotiations by offering three different stars in part-exchange.
Gil’s inclusion in the deal is likely because the Spaniard is set to slip back down the pecking order in north London following the return from injury of Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski.
Tottenham had high expectations for the 21-year-old when they spent £21.6million on his signature back in 2021 as part of a swap deal with Erik Lamela.
But Gil has made just 13 Premier League appearances for Spurs during his time at the club, failing to score at all since his move to England.
As for Zaniolo, the Italian has been a regular starter for Roma since joining the club in 2018.
Zaniolo was snapped up by Inter Milan during his youth career, but his only senior appearance came in a pre-season tour before he attracted interest from Roma.
A swap deal followed suit, with Radja Nainggolan heading to Inter in return for Zaniolo.
He’s since racked up 94 Serie A appearances, scoring 13 league goals in the process.
