AC Milan fullback Alessandro Florenzi became the latest Italian player placed under investigation by Turin prosecutors looking into footballers using illegal websites to bet on games, according to Italian media reports. Newcastle's Sandro Tonali and Juventus' Nicolò Fagioli were already banned for 10 and seven months, respectively, by the Italian soccer federation in the widening case. Aston Villa's Nicolò Zaniolo is also being investigated but has said he did not bet on games.

He played on the Italy team that won the European Championship in 2021. The club did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
