TORINO – It was the first test of the season and perhaps, also for this reason, it makes more noise than usual. Nicolò Zaniolo has missed the friendly played by Roma against Trastevere: he took a seat in the stands where he acted as a spectator, probably with his head immersed in a thousand thoughts of a still very long market. According to what transpires, the absence of the flexible Giallorossi playmaker is due to low back pain. But in the negotiation rooms it takes a moment to think about other combinations, the temptations of the market, what could even more inflame the passion of the fans of the Juventusabsolutely free to continue dreaming.

And therefore: José Mourinho keeps Zaniolo out of the stalking of Trigoria, disputed without supporters in the stands or cameras turned on. He starts from here. Having said that Nicolò, unless unpredictable upheavals in the next few hours, should join the group that will continue the preparation with Mou in Portugal, the market around the player’s name does not stop. And while the contacts continue also during the current weekend, the situation of the boy who at 23 years old sees the Juventus train pass and the classic great opportunity not to be missed remains strongly suspended. At the moment Rome remains firm on its positions: no to any technical counterparts, yes to a cash collection albeit with an advance and an abundant balance in a year (the latest hypothesis that is circulating: 10 million immediately and 30-35 with compulsory redemption of the tag in 2023). At Continassa, on the other hand, they will try them all before surrendering to the will of the Giallorossi club, but in the belief that a good path has now been mapped out. And that the advent of Zaniolo is practically written in destiny.
