According to the "Turin Sports News" report, someone once suggested that Facioli deliberately eat cards during the game to offset his gambling debt, but Fagioli did not agree.

Italian midfielder Fagioli was investigated for participating in illegal online gambling in 2023 and was later suspended for 7 months. Although Fagioli has been released from the ban and returned, the investigation into the illegal gambling case is still not over. "Turin Sports" revealed that investigators from the Turin Prosecutor's Office have found the source of this case: a casino in Trofarello, Turin, and arrested two people involved, aged 40 and 36, who are both managers of Eurobet.

There is a real secret gambling network with a pyramid structure hidden behind it. The two arrested managers are called "bosses" and the gambling middlemen are called "clowns". They will create and operate some illegal online gambling platforms and attract other people to place bets. The amount of a single bet can reach 20,000 euros. In addition to Fagioli, Tonali, Zaniolo, Pirlo's son Nicola Pirlo, and dozens of other anonymous punters were investigated by the police and fined.

Facioli also revealed that when he was in debt due to illegal gambling, someone suggested that he personally participate in match-fixing. "Someone did come to me, but I absolutely did not accept it because it went against my morals... When I was in debt due to gambling, someone proposed this repayment plan to me and suggested that I deliberately get a yellow card... I immediately broke off communication with the other party."

Fagioli returned to the court after his suspension in May 2024, and was also selected for the Italian national team. Fagioli was not reused by Juventus coach Motta last season and was loaned to Fiorentina by Juventus in February this year. Fiorentina bought him out this summer, and Fagioli has played 7 times for Fiorentina this season. However, in the last two rounds of Serie A in Florence, Fagioli did not get a chance to play.
