According to RAI Sport, Sandro Tonali and Nicolò Zaniolo are accompanied by Italy delegation chief Gigi Buffon while they speak to investigators about the growing betting scandal.
Juventus midfielder Nicolò Fagioli is formally under investigation for betting on illegal sites, but reports are growing that he is not the only player who has been breaching the rules on professionals placing bets.
Gossip columnist Fabrizio Corona alleges today that Zaniolo placed bets on Roma’s Coppa Italia games while he was in the squad, plus that Tonali has also been betting.
Both are currently at the Coverciano training camp preparing for Italy’s EURO 2024 qualifiers against Malta and England.
According to RAI Sport reporter Alessandro Antinelli, Tonali and Zaniolo were spotted alongside chief delegate Buffon meeting with police inside the Coverciano camp to discuss the betting investigation.
It was also confirmed by news agency ANSA that police officials were at the Coverciano training ground.
Both players have left Serie A, as Tonali joined Newcastle United and Zaniolo moved from Galatasaray to Aston Villa.
