ESPN reported that Zaniolo's representatives have been in talks with PSV, indicating that the 25-year-old Galatasaray player is open to transferring to the Netherlands. PSV has presented their strategic plans to the Italian player, although he is said to have multiple offers, including some from Bundesliga clubs. However, clubwatcher Rik Elfrink from Eindhovens Dagblad refuted these claims, stating that Zaniolo is not a target for PSV and described the rumor as completely unfounded. Elfrink noted that Zaniolo's name had not been linked with PSV before and suggested that he might have been offered to the club recently, but stressed that this does not imply he is on PSV's radar.
