Earlier, according to Sky Sports, Roma manager Jose Mourinho was interested in the physically fit Ndombele. The two have worked together at Tottenham, and although Mourinho has publicly criticized Ndombele, Mourinho has also given the players a lot of opportunities after the players have a good attitude. For now, Roma need to strengthen the midfield position, and Mourinho believes Ndombele meets Roma's requirements. The newspaper pointed out that Ndombele is currently worth more than 30 million euros and Roma hope to sign him in installments, just as they signed Tammy Abraham from Chelsea last summer.
Last summer, Roma signed Abraham, who struggled to get playing time, from Chelsea. The England centre-forward gained a foothold in Serie A and became Mourinho's top scorer. After tasting the sweetness, Mourinho was not surprised to set his sights on the Premier League again. Because of the fierce competition here, many players with good strength can only use the bench as a company, and it is inevitable that they will leave the team, such as Ndombele mentioned by the media. This has been confirmed by the Famous Italian name Romano. According to Romano, it was Spurs who wanted to send Ndombele away when the winter window opened.
Either way, Ndombele has largely lost his future under Conte. After the Italian coaching officer took office, Ndombele had just one chance to start. Ndombele's characteristics and shortcomings are more distinct, he is the best midfielder in Tottenham Hotspur's passing and dribbling skills, but the pace is slow, always feel that he is not on the same channel as other teammates, and Conte is a manager with very clear requirements for tactical discipline.
In addition, Conte's team is known for its running distance. Since taking office, Spurs have become the most running team in the Premier League of the same period. The physical strength of Ndombele is a short board, and it is impossible to cope with Conte's tactical requirements. Therefore, leaving the team is an inevitable choice.
Ndombele's departure also sent another signal that Conte was going to "change blood" in midfield. Tottenham's top brass is likely to have said hello to Conte, and if the winter window or summer window wants to buy a midfield, it must first sell people to clear the salary space, so the high-valued and high-paying Ndombele is the first to bear the brunt.
So who is Conte targeting? Most likely Casey. In fact, as early as Inter Milan, Conte wanted to bring in Casey. This was also confirmed by the Italian name Di Marzio. In recent times, the rumors of Tottenham and Casey have also gradually heated up.
But will Ndombele join Roma? Of course it's possible, but the difficulty is there. Ndombele has never been able to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, but there is a possibility of gaining a foothold in Serie A. Serie A's pace is relatively slow in the Premier League, and technical players like Ndombele are very successful. In addition, Roma's midfield is mostly sapper players, lacking a person who can send a straight ball, Ndombele will get plenty of room to play if he joins, and quickly improve the attacking power of the frontcourt.
But the difficulty is also there. Tottenham Originally introduced Ndombele spent 60 million + 10 million floating, is the team's historical champion, it is impossible to let go at a low price. Rome can only expect Spurs to agree to their installment proposal, but even so, Tottenham's asking price has greatly exceeded the psychological expectations of Rome's top brass.
In short, Spurs want to sell, Ndombele also wants to go, Rome also has demand, and whether it can eventually become a reality, we will wait and see.
