Transfer market, Rome books goalkeeper Svilar

The goalkeeper born in 1999 from Benfica will arrive on a free transfer, Serbian with Belgian citizenship, had already impressed Mourinho years ago. Here’s how Pinto secured it

Roma essentially closed for Mile Svilar, goalkeeper born in 1999 for Benfica (lately he plays more in formation B than in the first). The player will arrive on a free transfer with compensation in favor of Benfica which has given the ok to medical examinations, scheduled for the next few days. He will sign a five-year contract.

Chosen by Mou and Pinto

Svilar, one of the first boys that Pinto brought to Lisbon when he was working at Benfica, was chosen by the Roma GM in agreement with Mourinho, who faced him years ago with Manchester (“this guy is really talented” he said). Serbian with Belgian citizenship (he was born in Antwerp) will arrive as deputy, initially, of Rui Patricio and then play his cards and become, in his intentions, the heir.
