Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli has been banned for seven months over a betting scandal. This was reported by Sky Sport Italy.
According to the publication, the football player admitted his guilt, cooperated with the prosecutor’s office and expressed his readiness to get rid of gambling addiction. This contributed to the prosecution giving the 22-year-old player a seven-month disqualification instead of a three-year suspension. An official announcement will come shortly. The penalty period will begin after the announcement from the Italian Football Federation (FIGC).
Fagioli has been defending the colors of the Turin club since 2021. He is a member of the team. In the summer of 2021, Fagioli was loaned to the Cremonese club to gain playing experience. In August 2022, the football player extended his contract with Juventus until 2026.
Fagioli played in six matches in the Italian championship this season and made one assist. Juventus shares third place with Fiorentina in Serie A with 17 points after eight weeks.
