According to Die Zeitung, Roma have been out of the season less than expected and they will not be able to qualify for Europe if they end the season with the current rankings. Still, Chairman Friedkin and Roma executives still have a lot of trust in Mourinho. Mourinho has also begun to prepare for next season, and he hopes to build a stronger and more competitive team before the start of next season.
The news is tough enough, with 12 rounds left in the season, Roma are ready for next season. This is not a bit of the meaning of the Chinese team, and it is ready to prepare for the next World Cup in advance. Jokes are jokes, which is also a last resort. After 26 rounds, Roma won 12, drew 5 and lost 9, finishing 8th with 41 points. Don't think about The Champions League qualification, the only goal is to get The European qualification, preferably the Europa League ticket.
Therefore, Roma began to prepare for next season from now on, just by building a squad. As can be seen from Mourinho's repeated post-match criticism of the players this season, he is not satisfied with the current configuration of the Roma squad. The players' attitude to the game and the ability of the players in individual positions are not up to his requirements, and Mourinho is a manager who emphasizes the attitude of the game, and his tactical play also needs to find the right players to play more powerful.
From the transfer news reported by the previous media, it can be known that Mourinho's most desired position to strengthen is the right-back. The previous gossip targets were Old Manchester United's Dalot. But the Portuguese compatriot's performance at Manchester United has picked up and he has become the main force of Ronnick's weight. As a result, Mourinho needed to find another way to find other suitable targets, and now the latest news is coming.
Earlier, The Milano Sport newspaper reported that it was difficult for Karlsdorp and Binia to maintain a season of continuous combat, and their crosses were average. Niles has not performed as expected, and Spinazzolla has been recuperating from injuries this season. As a result, Mourinho and Pinto have already begun to consider reinforcing the full-backs. At the moment, Roma are very interested in Barca defender Dester and want to sign him, which will require a transfer fee of about 20 million euros. Beresinski is also a potential target.
Durst? It's possible. As Koeman's first signing to coach Barca, Durst was once seen by Barca fans as the future of the right. But whether under Koeman or after Harvey took office, Destin's performance was not ideal, his defensive ability was criticized, and his position began to waver. Many times, Harvey preferred to have Mingesa or even Araujo make cameos, and after bringing back veteran Alves in November, Dester's playing time was once again compressed.
Although Dester did not want to leave Barca, since then, rumors about his transfer have begun to increase, including Monaco, Bayern and Dortmund, who are the protagonists of the scandal. In addition, Barca are also frequently rumored with full-backs, including powerful veterans such as Azpilicueta.
In addition to the centre-back and centre-back, the right-back is also at the top of the Xavi Summer Window reinforcement list. To be sure, if Dester can't play a convincing performance in Alves' absence, it's a good idea to be cleaned up after the season.
But even if Barca are willing to sell Durst, it won't be easy for Roma to get the American full-back. Before joining Barca, Deste was Bayern's signing target. Eventually, due to Koeman's sake and his liking for Barca's style, D'Est chose Camp Nou as his home stadium. Now that Dester is unable to gain a foothold in Barcelona, Bayern's interest has re-emerged. Competing with this Bundesliga band, Roma had no advantage at all. In addition, Mourinho is also a manager who attaches great importance to the defensive ability of full-backs, and if he can choose, Dester will definitely prefer Bayern and Dort.
