Rome, Karsdorp on the market for January, two Italian tracks

And now? Rick Karsdorp’s future is an unknown. At least for him, suddenly discharged from his coach and looking for a serenity that seems to have lost. This is also why he chose to spend the week of vacation granted to Roma players in the Netherlands, in his Rotterdam. Close to his wife Astrid, his son Kylian and his closest loved ones, in the hope of leaving behind – at least for now – the case that exploded in Trigoria after the draw with Sassuolo. The race that questioned his relationship with Mourinho: the Special One scolded him first in the locker room – the rest of the team present – and then in front of the microphones without naming him directly (apparently with much harsher tones than those used away from the cameras ). On his return to Italy, scheduled for next weekend, it will be time to face the issue with a cool head and face reality. Which could be a lot more raw than you expect.

POSSIBLE TRANSFER

–

The Reggio Emilia episode is likely to have been the point of no return for the former Feyenoord. Roma has totally entrusted the technical guide to Mou, and the accusations made against the Dutchman fall within its sphere of competence. Obviously, the full-back is still an asset of the club. For this reason, in the rooms of Fulvio Bernardini, they are studying the situation to try to understand if there is room for mending the tear without having to find – in a hurry – a company to sell it to. Considering the state of things, however, convincing the technician to bury the hatchet could prove to be a difficult path.

LAST HOPE

–

In his heart, Karsdorp still hopes he can change things. Yesterday, after the 1-1 against Torino, he posted on Instagram a broken red heart – flanked by a yellow one – and a crying face. A message that reflects the player’s mood. The only chance to make Mourinho change his mind is to commit himself to the maximum in his daily work, correcting those attitudes that led the coach to attack him. The same path that allowed Kumbulla to regain the confidence of the Portuguese after the Bodo disaster. This time, however, things seem to be more complicated.

SCENARIOS

–

If Karsdorp fails to prove that he still deserves Roma, it will be goodbye in January. The simplest option would be a loan abroad – perhaps with a redemption obligation linked to certain conditions – but there is no shortage of solutions in Serie A. The most prestigious is Juventus (the idea is evaluated at Continassa), which has not yet contacted Tiago Pinto. Another possibility could be Bologna: the rossoblu – regenerated by the care Thiago Motta – are looking for a reinforcement to further raise the quality of the squad and the Giallorossi number 2 would be ideal. Hypotheses that could materialize if Mourinho decides not to welcome the Dutchman back into the Romanist family.
