The Lions signed Zaniolo for a bargain after his move to Bournemouth collapsed at the last minute.

Galatasaray remained one of the few sides able to sign Zaniolo as the Super Lig transfer window was extended after the earthquake that devastated the country in February.

“Actually, it wasn’t just Bournemouth and Galatasaray, but I was kicked out for not accepting the English club’s offer and the fans took it out on me,” he said as quoted by Football Italia.

Galatasaray director Erdem Timur told Sky Italia’s Gianluca di Marzio, “Last year we invested €90m, but the team finished 13th. The only difference is that we did not have Zaniolo.

“Zaniolo had been sold to Bournemouth for €29m+3m six days before Roma accepted our proposal of €15m, to be paid over five years.”

Galatasaray are keen on keeping Zaniolo on with the prospect of Champions League football next summer but would be willing to sell the Italy international for around €40 million.
