Well seems like both parties have met again and the talks went very well. There is no buyout clause so it's a matter of a straight deal

'Only Inter or Juve for Zaniolo'
By Football Italia staff
Nicolo Zaniolo’s father reveals that while the midfielder will sign a new contract with Roma, Juventus and Inter are the only Italian sides who can afford him.
Zaniolo left Inter for Roma last summer, as part of the deal that sent Radja Nainggolan the other way, but dad Igor is not ruling out a return to San Siro for the Italy teenager.
“Some time ago my son came here [to the family bar in La Spezia] and he couldn’t even have breakfast,” he told Tuttosport.
“Despite this outcry, Nicolo has remained humble, keeping his feet on the ground.
“He’s never had any major flaws: he appreciates fashion, even if he always goes around in overalls. He probably doesn’t realise what he’s doing and it’s lucky that he doesn’t!
“The comparisons with Pogba, in terms of characteristics, are there: Nicolo is an all-rounder too.
“Obviously, this is while in keeping with the right proportions: Pogba is a world champion, my son is only a kid.
“I’d say I have to thank Mancini the most. The CT is the one who accentuated my son’s journey, then Di Francesco was brave enough to start him at the Bernabeu against champions like Modric and Kroos.
“I’d like him to become a champion. And I wouldn’t mind seeing him play with the best, that is, one of Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Mbappe and Neymar.
“But above all, whether it’s at Roma or Los Angeles Galaxy, he hopes that in the coming years, he’ll start winning trophies.
“He’ll renew with Roma. He’s fine there, he’s at a big club and he’s grateful to the club and his teammates: especially the most senior players, from Dzeko to De Rossi and Florenzi. They’re helping him grow a lot.
“There’s a continuous coming and going of agents, but it’s part of the game. Despite his renewal with Roma, my son will be linked with so many teams.
“First of all, we hope that Roma qualify for Europe. Even without it, it’s not a given that they’ll sacrifice my son.
“I think the club want to bank on him. If not, we’ll weigh up any offers that come our way.
“Given the figures being bandied about, I don’t think there will be many teams. In Italy I think there would only be Juventus and Inter.
“We have an open mind in the event there are talks between clubs. We’ll see in the summer.
“Now Nicolo’s priorities are the Champions League and then the European Under-21 Championship.”

MDS is definitely no Marcelo Dani Alves Thuram and not even a Zambrotta but he is considered as a backup and he is relatively solid at the back - I think you hate him for no reason. He is actually a useful player if you think about options
I think he just offers nothing for us aside from very average depth. The "solid at the back" meme is always used when a player is just average, I wouldn't consider his defensive skills to be any better than our other full-backs. I'm fine with him being a back-up for us since he can play a variety of positions, is Italian and seems relatively content on not being the definite starter, but if we have to rely on him in the biggest CL crunch games to face the likes of Messi he'll be completely overwhelmed. I wouldn't mind exchanging him for a player that could actually be a legitimate game-changer on their day.
Defensively?! MDS is certainly better than Cancelo and Spinazzola while I`d say he is better than A.Sandro as well so yeah he is better than our other full backs (defensive wise)
Offensively - Yeah he is no match to any of the mentioned names
He isnt WC but he is a good player to have as an option to when we need a defensive type of fullback

I see what you did there 
I prefer aesthetically pleasing footballers. Players that possess the bare minimum in terms of ability or oafs with no skills (Accidental Footballer springs to mind) are definitely not my cup of tea. There are obvious exceptions but Darmian is not among the chosen ones I'm afraid.
