In the early hours of tomorrow morning, the second leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals kicks off: Roma are at home to Vitesse. In the first leg of the match between the two sides, Roma won 1-0. But on the scene, the team that should undoubtedly win is the other side. Back at home, Roma need to be uplifted.
Before that, a transfer message came. According to the Italian media "Slow Motion", Roma is interested in waiving Lacazette, and Mourinho has personally contacted him. Will Lacazette be Roma's first signing in the summer window?
Lacazette's contract expires this summer. Its future is full of uncertainty. After sending away Dzeko, the impact on Rome was enormous. And Zheke also proved with practical actions: there is an old family, such as a treasure. Nowadays, the real role of Rome's front line is Abraham alone. This, too thin.
If Lacazette can join, it will be a great complement to Roma's attacking end. And its hardness is undoubtedly much stronger than Zaniolo's. At the same time, Lacazette is also willing to cooperate with his teammates. However, Lacazette is free, and whether Rome can attract him is still unknown.
To get Lacazette to join, Roma need to be tough on its own: at least next season, there should be a Europa League to play. Currently in Serie A, Roma are seventh with 48 points, eight points behind fourth Juve. Entering the Champions League next season is probably not realistic. Even in the Europa League, it is quite difficult. Because, their competitors have Atlanta. The latter's strength is undoubtedly much higher than that of Rome.
Roma, there is another arena to secure Europa League qualification: the European League. If they can win the European Union Cup, Roma will successfully qualify. Now, after Tottenham were eliminated, Roma have become the biggest favourites to win the title. Therefore, Mourinho should grasp it. Being able to bring Roma a championship trophy will not only increase the likelihood of bringing in Lacazette, but also have more transfer rights. At that time, I am afraid that Xhaka is also very likely to join.
