He is surely one of the most talented Italian footballers, but unfortunately, he got the enormous media attention in the last 14 days for all the wrong reasons. From the starting 11, Nicolo Zaniolo was dropped to the stands and he will never play for Roma again. At least that’s what the club’s sporting director is saying. On top of that, he was a subject of attack by Roma supporters. Tough days for the youngster. According to the Italian media, a group of some 15 extreme fans followed Zaniolo in a car all the way to his doorstep last night, insulting him and even threatening him with death. Apparently, it wasn’t a planned attack, but they saw the player by chance in traffic, and when the fans recognized him, they didn’t want to give up.Jose Mourinho doesn’t hold back on the future of Nicolò Zaniolo 😅 pic.twitter.com/3NOBbTqmJp— Football on BT Sport (@btsportfootball) January 28, 2023 “You sh*t! We lost because of you. Get out from the club”, they shouted at him, and even when Zaniolo managed to reach the front door, the hooligans continued. The football player was so scared that he called the police himself, so a patrol was sent to calm the situation, but by then the fans had already dispersed. Zaniolo’s problems are far from being solved. He has been under fire from the fans for days, because he has been insisting on leaving the club, even though Roma did everything to keep him.Mourinho praises Osimhen, comparing him to Drogba: “They’re the same except for one thing…”He wanted to go to Milan, and when it became clear that the Rossoneri did not have the money to buy him out – they offered only 3,500,000 euros for a loan without a mandatory buyout – he comfortably rejected Bournemouth’s offer, which satisfied Roma’s wishes: 30 million fixed and additional 5 million in bonuses. Zaniolo didn’t want to risk playing in the Championship next fall, Bournemouth turned to Sassuolo’s Hamed Traore, but Roma fans blamed Nicolo because he didn’t even think about the interests of their club. He wants to leave Roma for a “top club”, but he only has one offer – from BournemouthAnd now he is officially alone, since both coach and sporting director have given up on the player. “I want people like that, who want to play for Roma, who push through pain and fatigue to play. When you are not happy in a family situation, you have to leave, you have to find a solution. Family is for those who want to be there” said Mourinho. People are calling for Berlusconi to fulfill his ‘bus full of who**s’ promiseDirector Tiago Pinto was even harsher, as the club is prepared to freeze Zaniolo if he is not out in January transfer window. “Now everyone knows what happened. Nicolo asked the club to leave, along with his agent we tried in every way to find a solution. This solution arrived and Nicolo might not be very happy with the solution. 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” Tiago Pinto told DAZN.##NAJAVA_MECA_6988515##
