In the midst of a surge in gambling-related scandals in Italian football, AC Milan’s defender Alessandro Florenzi is now under investigation for suspected illegal gambling activities. The probe comes on the heels of recent sanctions imposed on Juventus player Fagioli and Newcastle midfielder Tonali, who were suspended for 7 and 10 months, respectively.

According to reports from the Italian-based AGI news agency, Florenzi is expected to meet with Italian prosecutors in the coming days to address the allegations. The investigation adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing issue of illicit gambling within the football community.

Despite the off-field scrutiny, Florenzi has been a stalwart presence on the pitch for AC Milan, featuring in five Serie A matches this season and making five additional appearances as a substitute. The 32-year-old defender, with a contract until 2025, has accrued valuable experience, earning 49 caps for the Italian national team.

As the investigation unfolds, AC Milan and Florenzi will be keenly awaiting the outcome, with the club set to face Fiorentina on November 25 after the international break.
