Rome, here are the names to please Mourinho

The defender expected by the coach may not arrive immediately, but Pinto is ready to reopen the hunt for Zagadou, Diallo or N’Dicka in January. In the meantime, the technician is studying role changes

When Josè Mourinho said last night that he didn’t have the courage to ask Pinto and the Friedkins even a defender, he wasn’t bluffing. He would like it, the club knows perfectly well that it would be useful but, in the last two days of the transfer market, which will end tomorrow, Roma are not willing to return to the incoming market. From imaginative voices (Acerbi) to more realistic voices (Zagadou or Diallo), right now the priority is to understand what will happen to Kluivert – and with him a nine million sure deal – and to thin out, if possible, a little more the squad. with the disposals of Riccardi, Coric and Bianda.

From Trigoria the closing of the incoming negotiations filters but it is clear, in Rome as everywhere, that on the market never say never.

The names for January

The feeling is that, between now and November, Roma will make a virtue of necessity for two and a half months. Then, in January, the defender will be the priority. The names are those of Zagadou, free agent, formerly of Borussia Dortmund, who is liked for his characteristics but did not convince due to the many injuries, and of Diallo, of the PSG, who however has a salary that is currently out of the market. Another name he liked is that of N’Dicka from Frankfurt, who is ending his contract and has a non-prohibitive engagement.

Internal solutions

Except for real surprises, however, no one will arrive by tomorrow and Roma will turn to internal solutions. Cristante, for example, or Matic, otherwise one between Vina, closed on the left by Zalewski and Spinazzola, or Karsdorp, as Celik improves day by day. Last year, in an emergency, Mou invented the now former Polish attacking midfielder as a full-fledged left-handed winger, who knows if this year he won’t come up with another surprise.
