Nicolo Zaniolo’s controversies with Roma seem never-ending, as the 23-year-old is touted to go ahead with a legal dispute following his exclusion from the technical project on the decision of coach Jose Mourinho and president Dan Friedkin.
According to Il Messaggero (via Calciomercato), a pool of lawyers have already been contacted by the player’s family in light of suing the Giallorossi for damaging the reputation of Zaniolo. The ‘media massacre’ unleashed on Zaniolo was reportedly triggered by Roma, which has undoubtedly left a lasting impact psychologically for the player.

Umberto Calcagno – former Sampdoria midfielder – who chairs the Assocalciatori (Italian Footballer’s Association) has been notified of the issue.
Earlier last week, the Roma tifosi let fly insults, death threats and abuses at Zaniolo, forcing him to flee to La Spezia to escape the hostile environment. He even skipped an individual training session at Roma’s Trigoria complex yesterday, adding to the air of resentment between the two parties.
He is expected to return to Rome today, but Zaniolo could end up returning next week instead, in light of the uncomfortable climate surrounding his presence in the Italian capital.
