According to financial analyst Kieran Maguire, who spoke with Football Insider exclusively, it would be hypocritical to feel pity for Zaniolo’s predicament in light of Villa’s agreement with BK8.
The 24-year-old midfield player, like Sandro Tonali of Newcastle United, is being investigated for breaking Italian gambling laws.
Due to his involvement in bets, the midfielder for the Magpies received a 10-month suspension.
Zaniolo, who insisted he has never wagered on sports, flew to Turin to talk with authorities, according to the Daily Mail.
This summer, Zaniolo joined Villa on a season-long loan from Galatasaray, the winners of the Turkish Super League.According to Maguire, football wagering has grown into a “broader issue.”
