On the evening of January 15, Beijing time, a well-known Italian journalist Schola revealed that series A powerhouse Roma team Serie A proposed early termination of the contract to the 31-year-old defender Thornton in the team, and Roma has even proposed a plan to terminate the contract, and the two sides are negotiating compensation related issues. Thornton will also be the third player to clean up roma's winter window after Marajol and Villar.
Born in 1991, Thornton can be described as a young man, debuting in the inter milan youth academy, he has played for Cesena, Newcastle, Roma and other clubs. In July 2018, Thornton moved from Inter to Roma for a transfer fee of 9.5 million euros, playing in 53 games and contributing three assists since joining.
It is worth noting that Roma's current manager Jose Mourinho can be called Thornton's mentor. Portugal's boss has a promotion for Thornton, and the two have worked together for two seasons at Inter Milan. In the 2008-09 season, it was Mourinho who promoted the then 17-year-old Thornton to the inter first team and transformed him into a left-back, and the two teamed up to help Inter Milan achieve the "treble".
Sadly, Thornton later fell out of the woods due to injuries. This season, the 31-year-old Thornton has been reduced to a fringe player in Roma, and has not been given any appearances this season. Even if jose Mourinho took over from Roma, he had to give up "saving" him. After ending his contract with Roma, Thornton is expected to play abroad, with teams pursuing him in Turkey and Greece, both Galatasaray and Karaguruk having investigated his situation, as has Greek side Thessaloniki.
