Rome: Karsdorp doesn’t go to the retreat: with Mou it’s a break, a fine is on the way

Rick Karsdorp bangs his fists on the table. Metaphorically, of course, but just enough to make Roma understand that José Mourinho is not only angry with him, but he is also angry with the Special One. So much so that he didn’t show up this afternoon when training resumed. A decision that also puts the management in difficulty, which was trying to mediate with the Portuguese coach to allow the Dutch full-back to become available again and avoid looking for a replacement in January. However, Karsdorp’s stance somehow breaks the underground negotiation, because at this point the hypothesis that he could leave for the tour in Japan on Tuesday is remote.

In short, after Mourinho’s decision not to call him up for the last league match before the break, the internal match against Turin, evidently represented the straw that broke the camel’s back, given that the full-back took the plane with the family to return immediately to Holland and start the holidays early. One thing is certain: Karsdorp was called up for today as well as for Japan. Now, taking a mega-fine for granted, the scenarios really change. The problem is that in January Roma will hardly be able to sell him except on loan (Juventus like him), and perhaps they will have to look for a replacement, even if the Celik-Zalewski couple would offer guarantees. The yellow and red heart broken with relative tears, which Karsdorp had posted on the day of Rome-Turin, has now turned into reality. Grande Amore is just winding down, even if it often happens in Third Millennium football.
