Jose ‘Mourinho wins on the pitch, but also on the phone. After having convinced Abraham last year, he is now decisive in the arrivals of Matic, in the increasingly probable ones of Wijnaldum and Belotti, and above all in that of Paulo Dybala. Joya is the real blow to the Roma transfer market which, after the conquest of the Conference League which brought back a European trophy to the capital after 60 years, has raised the bar. While the Friedkins obtained two more victories with the start of the new stadium in Pietralata and with the exit from the stock exchange, the icing on the cake was the acquisition of the Argentine playmaker, insinuating themselves into Inter’s market difficulties.
Dybala understood what awaits him with the presentation at the square Colosseum in front of 10,000 cheering fans. With Abraham he seems capable of forming a spectacular and prolific duo, and he started seeing Tottenham yesterday. But it is a team of high technical caliber that must amalgamate Mourinho: captain Pellegrini will act behind the two strikers while Zaniolo will remain, barring unlikely market surges. Behind it will take a balanced, powerful and tested mechanism. It is for this reason that Mourinho has solicited the use of expert champions of the Premier: after Smalling this year two glorious and expert midfield navigators have arrived: the defensive midfielder Matic and the Dutch all-rounder Wijnaldum, whose negotiations are in the pipeline. of arrival, and that he wanted to free himself from the golden prison of the PSG to be competitive again in view of the world championship. Two other signings will work together to shore up the squad: the goalkeeper Svilar, who should mature in the shadow of Rui Patricio and the Turkish winger Celik, much more than a reserve from Karsdorp. they name Zagadou and Bailly. For now, the prospect of bringing Frattesi home, whose long negotiation with Sassuolo was one of the summer hits, fades.
Many redundancies remain to be placed: Carles Perez should end up at Celta, Villar at Sampdoria while Veretout could stay and a position is sought for Kluivert. Diawara will train separately pending accommodation. But the first to come out seems to be Shomurodov, who is about to go on loan to Bologna. The place is then free for the Belotti free agent.
Mourinho leaves to win a place in the Champions League and make a long way in the Europa League.
Line-up (3-4-1-2): Rui Patricio, Mancini, Smalling, Ibanez, Karsdorp, Cristante. MATIC, Spinazzola, Pellegrini, DYBALA, Abraham. Coach: Mourinho.
