Wantaway Nicolò Zaniolo has made it very difficult for himself at AS Roma. The 23-year-old Italian would like to leave the club, but has not yet found a suitable alternative. Some of the AS Roma supporters have at least had it with Zaniolo.
Zaniolo hardly managed to be of great value to AS Roma this season, so he has indicated that he would like to move. His trainer José Mourinho also no longer included him in the match selection in the matches against Spezia and Napoli. “He has been shouting to everyone for a month that he wants to leave,” Mourinho explained.
Especially for his birthday, we serve the current AS Roma trainer in 60 courses. In other words: 60 times José Mourinho in juicy quotes and images. “He saved my life.”
According to Italian media, AC Milan was interested in putting Zaniolo out of his misery, but the clubs did not agree. AS Roma was more charmed by Bournemouth’s offer of 35 million euros, but Zaniolo himself was not interested in that. According to Il Messaggero, Zaniolo is now “disappointed and bitter” at the club.
He would regret that he has indicated that he no longer wants to play for Roma for the time being. However, if it is up to the supporters, Zaniolo will no longer be accepted in favor. In the night from Saturday to Sunday, the fanatical supporters of AS Roma hung a large banner in Rome with the text: ‘Zaniolo, a traitor without honor’.
José Mourinho’s update on Wijnaldum and Karsdorp
AS Roma coach José Mourinho expects to be able to call on Georginio Wijnaldum again within a few weeks, who is on his way back from a tibia fracture.
“Georginio is on his way back and is already doing short exercises with the selection. Every fifteen days there is an evaluation of how his rehabilitation is going. He will train with the group for the next seven to ten days and in two or three weeks we want to give Georginio some playing time again. Everything is going according to plan. It looks good,” Mourinho said of the Paris Saint-Germain recovering mercenary.
The coach of the Romans was also asked about Karsdorp’s future at Roma. Mourinho was white-hot on the ex-Feyenoorder at the beginning of November, after which he fell out of favor and did not play again. Karsdorp has just trained in the meantime, but is out as long as he wants. “When he returns is up to him. Someone lied and spoke badly about the club and the coach,” said Mourinho, referring to Karsdorp.
