This Fabrizio Corona guy (who, I'll be honest, I've never heard of before) says he has the names of another 50 Serie A footballers involved in this.

If we're guessing who it is in Inter, my main one would be Brozovic. It didn't make much sense to me how keen we were to ship him out, and it looks worryingly similar to the Tonali deal being complete in 2 days.

Just one normal day in Serie A, that's all I ask. Will never happen.
so far it seems to be primarily linked to the national team, but i agree broz does seem the type some how.

If it's Brozovic, would we be liable on the 18m? I guess if they can somehow prove that we were aware of it.

I think this is an Italian jurisdiction case? Or would FIFA issue their own ban? If it's the former, it doesn't really affect Brozovic.

But it's wrong of us to even assume Brozovic is involved at all.

Also, it would be so typical of us to sell Brozo quickly because we've got wind that he's involved in something dodgy, only to splash money on a replacement who is also implicated in the same thing.

Assuming any of this is true, of course.

a playing ban is pan-fifa, so any italian ban impacts tonali, zaniolo, etc as well. I assume UAE are under Fifa, so yes, they should be impacted as well. But this is a pointless discussion atm as there's not even any suggestion it is brozovic, whereas there is suggestion it might be frattesi.

I'm suprised its not Barella. He doesnt seems like a clever guy. And he plays terrible last couple of games. Like his mind is somewhere else.
there are only rumors. there's no certainty about Frattesi.

Where this Frattesi suggestion is coming from exactly, apart from that one post in this thread?

Im only basing my comment off this thread, but it kinda makes sense in terms of the italian NT clique with people being the same age, etc. Brozovic, as far as I can see right now, makes no sense at all.

Why wasn't Frattesi then dragged out of Coverciano?

I would take this claim with a spoon of salt.

Generally this case might be about using the illegal gambling sites in general, not particularly betting on football games. Let alone their own games. :D
Also this.

I'm already reading Tonali and Zaniolo saying they played some blackjack and poker, not betting football games.

If that's the case, they were probaly flagged because they've been using some illegal sites. This whole case has been from the start about the illegal sites.

Dont know. It might be that the investigation is spilling over today and they focused on Zaniolo/Tonali? We just need to wait and see. You could have made the same argument yesterday about Zaniolo and Tonali, to be fair.

Honestly if this is about blackjack and poker, this is nothingburger. Illegal yes, but guys pay some fines and that's it.

Well, the allegations could be worst, like the EPL players involved in something really criminal and unseemly.

Jesus Christ Bastoni and Asllani. The first is only position we don't have a serious backup.
