Milan will be waiting for him in June. Nicolò Zaniolo is convinced of this, because the story with Roma has definitively ended. He hopes to relaunch himself in four months in Milan in a project more suited to his potential, provided that the two clubs find an agreement. Tiago Pinto would have sold him to the Rossoneri also in January if the offer had approached the 30 million offered by Bournemouth. By the way, after the initial refusal to go to England, yesterday morning Nicolò was convinced. He sent his agent a mandate to get back in touch, there was a meeting between the clubs, but in the end the owner closed the detention because he was frightened by the cost of the operation which would have added to that of Traoré taken from the Sassuolo for 30 million. Therefore, Zaniolo remains in Rome and will have to deal with the reality that sees him disliked by the square, in rupture with society and now disliked by José Mourinho. Recovering will be practically impossible, also because the decision to exclude him from the technical project – they let Trigoria know – was taken directly by president Friedkin in agreement with the sports management and the coach. A damage also to the national team where he was starting to find continuity thanks to the Mancini cure. Without playing for the club, the coach will not be able to call him up for the Azzurri.

Rome, Zaniolo remains in La Spezia and does not return to Trigoria. During the night he reopened at Bournemouth, but the English withdrew

BATTLE

This is why there is the hypothesis of a legal dispute on the horizon. It cannot be ruled out that the winger’s family will unleash a battle against Roma over the media massacre that has taken place in recent days (according to the parents, triggered by the club) and for having excluded him from the technical project following unprofessional behavior (absence from training and refusal to call-ups). A pool of lawyers has already been contacted who will deal with the matter and who will have the task of protecting him in order to guarantee him the peaceful conduct of his business. Mobbing and psychological pressure are just some of the accusations that the Zaniolo family intend to make against Roma. The Assocalciatori, which has the role of providing assistance to players in difficulty with their clubs, was also informed. President Umberto Calcagno is following the situation with due attention. His entourage from outside has collected the events that have occurred in recent months, producing a file that will be the subject of discussion. Before starting the counterattack, Nicolò will wait for the end of the transfer market and Tiago Pinto’s press conference scheduled for the next few days. Then, he’s likely to take the floor to tell his version of it. After the recent news events (he was chased and threatened with death at home), he received authorization from Rome to move to La Spezia with his parents for 48 hours. He is expected for today but it is not excluded that he could take a few more days and return next week. The telenovela, therefore, ends with a stalemate, which is equivalent to a defeat for the player, but above all for the club that has not monetized the asset and will put it on the sidelines, preventing it from rising. It will be an (almost) impossible mission to rehabilitate him, furthermore, if the company’s line is confirmed with facts, Mourinho will have to do without a player who was an undisputed starter up until 13 days ago.
