Atalanta challenge Villarreal for Zaniolo

After six months on-loan with Aston Villa, Zaniolo is available from Gala this summer.

Zaniolo has been linked with Villarreal and he's welcomed their interest.

Sportitalia's transfer journalist Alfredo Pedullà states that Atalanta are also showing interest in the 24-year-old.

Zaniolo is attracted by Villarreal, but he prefers to return to Italy.

Pedullà believes that Juventus may also challenge for Zaniolo's signature in the coming weeks.
