Roma director Gianluca Petrachi has told Nicolo Zaniolo he's not for sale.
The midfielder is a target for Tottenham.
I told off Zaniolo, like a father would to a son, with all the affection in this world, to get his head back on his shoulders, but immediately people said that meant putting him on the market," said Petrachi.
I have to work to get the best out of Zaniolo and my job isn't just buying and selling players, as I have direct contact with the squad. I see them every day and consider them to be teammates.
It's not right that every word we say gets built up into some giant story. I understand your point of view, but I never put Zaniolo on the market. I can't rule anything out either, because nobody thought Juventus would sell Zinedine Zidane and yet they did.
What I can say is that today Zaniolo is not on the market. We evaluate everything, but must also be clear."
