Roma, Kristensen arriving and Sabitzer first choice in midfield

Rome’s hot summer could be a penance for many, but a general manager of a club like Roma knows July is a key month for the transfer market. So Tiago Pinto, back from his vacation (so to speak) in Portugal, has taken up his agenda to draw up a calendar of more or less virtual appointments. The manager is well aware of José Mourinho’s needs and knows that, at the moment, the Special One needs three: a right-back, a midfielder and a centre-forward.

On the first front, the arrival of Danish Kristensen from Leeds is only a matter of days if not hours, given that the defender has a clause that allows him to go out on loan in the event of relegation, which unfortunately happened to the English club . The contacts are increasingly dense and the feeling is that Kristensen can land in Rome as early as the week. It’s a different matter for the midfielders. Kamada, free agent from Eintracht Frankfurt, likes but is considered similar in characteristics to Aouar, in first place on the list is Marcel Sabitzer of Bayern Munich, back from two lackluster seasons, one in Bavaria and the other on loan at Manchester United. The Giallorossi club would also like to pursue the loan route, which could perhaps be combined with a right of redemption ready to be triggered in the event of the Giallorossi qualifying for the Champions League. One thing is certain: the Austrian – who yesterday also wrote a post in (suggestive?) Italian – at the age of 29 is tired of being a supporting actor, which certainly wouldn’t happen with Mourinho.

The same formula could be used for the Portuguese Renato Sanches of the PSG, a company with which Roma has excellent relations thanks to the feeling that binds Dan Friedkin with Al-Khelaifi. However, the Portuguese, who was also somewhat in the shadows in the last championship, is less prolific than Sabitzer, even if he remains an excellent footballer at just 25 years old. Moral: even in this negotiation, thanks also to the Champions League clause, everything could be unlocked in a short time. Mourinho will appreciate.
