Zaniolo watched Fiorentina's youth team come from behind to beat the Roma youngsters 2-1 at Viola Park in the Primavera youth league title playoff semifinal on Monday. In a club statement, Roma said that their former player Zaniolo "allegedly entered the Primavera team's dressing room after the match and engaged in provocative behavior towards some of the Giallorossi youth players" and that "during the confrontation, two players from the Primavera squad were reportedly physically struck." Zaniolo, 25, made his Serie A debut with Roma and was voted the league's Young Player of the Year for 2018-19.
