Roma’s former director of sport Gianluca Petrachi confirms ‘Juventus are in love with Nicolò Zaniolo’ and says he gets emotional when he watches the Giallorossi on TV.
“I can’t not get emotional when I watch Roma,” Petrachi continued.
“Sometimes they play with 8-9 players that I brought in, together with Fonseca. I suffer but I need to look ahead because it’s being said that I can’t return to the club. I don’t want to talk about Roma anymore, it’s not fair and it becomes tiring. It was something important for me.
“I rate Fonseca 7,5, he could get till 9 if he’d change something. Sometimes he must have more character because he has plenty of personality.”
Petrachi did also discuss Roma's signings during his tenure and confirmed Nicolò Zaniolo is wanted by Juventus.
“[Roger] Ibanez and [Gonzalo] Villar are very interesting young players. Roma can rely on them for the next ten years. We signed all the players that we wanted.
“As for Zaniolo, Juventus have always been in love with him. He is a pure talent. He’s always behaved well when I was at the club. He is becoming more mature. He looks older than his age, he also overcame important personal difficulties.”
