Nicolò refuses the offer of 4.5 million a year. He’s out for the club: measures are on the way Mou and irritated teammates, furious fans
It ends badly. Nicholas Zaniolo says no to Bournemouth and Rome is literally furiousalso threatening disciplinary action, writes Massimo Cecchini on The Sports Gazette. With the no to the English club which had prepared a pharaonic offer of around 4.5 million per season for him – more than what Zaniolo asked for for renewal – the attacker now finds himself prisoner of his ghosts and, above all, of an environment that no longer loves him, inside and outside Trigoria.
The management found unacceptable the attitude of the player – who yesterday also refused to meet the Bournemouth executives, who only had telephone contact with his family – and therefore is studying disciplinary actions, which can range from a fine to the possibility that he trains separately, just like Bianda and Coric do. The situation has precipitated, especially since Nicolò made it clear to Mourinho of not being able to play for the will to leave. It’s not a question of money, he lets people know who is close to him, so much so that Milan would have accepted the same signing as Roma, but with a technical plan, and that of Bournemouth – with his 4-4-2 in which they say he would find difficult tactical location – does not convince him.
Roma know they can close a deal with Ziyechbut Nicolò’s no blocks the negotiation for now. Zaniolo he will have to face a climb to regain everyone’s trust. Including locker room mates who they did not like his way of acting at all.
