Romapress reports that Roma have no interest in letting go of their star player and will be willing to offer him a new contract at the end of the transfer window.

Spurs boss Antonio Conte is still keen to add more players to his squad after a very busy summer that has seen six new players arrive in North London. Conte has already acquired Richarlison and Ivan Perisic to boost his attacking options. He has been linked with a move for Barcelona's Memphis Depay and now Zaniolo is a potential target.

Paulo Dybala is understood to be a key factor in Zaniolo's future. Daily Mail reports that Jose Mourinho's side will consider letting the 23-year-old leave following the arrival of Dybala. Juventus, meanwhile, are in the market for Dybala's replacement, who chose not to renew his contract with the Old Lady.

Zaniolo has two years left on his current Giallorossi deal.

Cesc Fabregas to make a shock move to Serie B side

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Cesc Fabregas’ career is poised to make an interesting turn as the Spaniard is reportedly on the verge of joining Serie B minnows Como on a free transfer.

The former Chelsea, Arsenal and Barcelona man is currently without a club after parting ways with Ligue 1 side Monaco at the end of last season.

As per recent reports, Fabregas was highly likely to join Las Palmas in Spain after discussions with the club president Miguel Angel Ramirez.
