Nicolò Zaniolo denies allegedly punching two Roma youth players

Nicolò Zaniolo, a former Roma player who won the Serie A Young Player of the Year award and spent five years at the club, faces a possible ban after being accused by Roma of hitting two youth players during a match. Despite denying the incident in his statement, Zaniolo’s involvement in a verbal confrontation led to his departure from the Roma locker room. Fiorentina, where he is currently on loan, has an option to extend his contract this summer if cleared.
