AS Roma chief Tiago Pinto says selling Nicolo Zaniolo remains on the agenda before Tuesday's transfer deadline.

The midfielder has rejected an offer from Bournemouth.

I have no problem answering that question, now everyone knows what happened. Nicol asked the club to leave, along with his agent we tried in every way to find a solution, this solution arrived and might not Nicol might not be very happy with the solution," Pinto told DAZN.

We're all in a difficult situation now, because he put in the transfer request and with all the Financial Fair Play parameters we have around us, we cannot afford to just accept Zaniolo saying no and us signing a replacement.

There are 48 hours to go in the transfer window, we'll see what happens, but it is truly a difficult situation for the club and everyone."
