Galatasaray striker Nicolo Zagnolo has revealed for the first time what caused him to leave Roma.
"I could talk for hours about unfulfilled promises. I was told I was a star, but I was always considered a capital asset for the club. For two years I was told that a new contract was ready. I knew that Roma had problems with financial fair play. After so many conversations, I was tired.
In fact, there were offers not only from Bournemouth and Galatasaray, but for not agreeing to move to the Premier League, I was kicked out and the fans threw a lot of dirt on me. Some were chasing me in a car, others drove up to my house. My family and I were also scared because we felt alone. In those days, I turned off my cell phone because I received threatening messages.
My teammates? I was disappointed in almost all of them. I'm not naming names, but they said we were brothers, and then they didn't even come up and say goodbye," Zagnolo said in an interview with La Gazzetta Dello Sport.
