After a series of draws with Napoli and losses to Inter, Roma's bid for fourth place is completely hopeless. The most realistic goal for them this season is to keep fifth place in Serie A and then win the UEFA Cup. Roma will face Leicester City for the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup on 29 April. After passing this level, the champion is close at hand.
In Jose Mourinho's hands, Rome's progress is there for all to see. In this summer window, the team will inevitably continue to support Mourinho and make reinforcements. So, who will Rome bring in? According to the all-Juve network, Roma are willing to offer Dybala a contract with an annual salary of 7 million euros, and Dybala is very suitable for Mourinho's team plan.
Dybala's contract expires this summer. Rome introduced him, and it would not cost a penny. Dybala is a player whose fame outweighs his strength, far from the level of a world-class striker. However, Dybala's strength is enough in Serie A, and it also has the spirituality that Roma players lack. If you can take him, it will be a big plus for Roma.
In addition to Dybala, another person will also arrive. Italian journalist Pedola reported that Nemanja Matic had been recommended to Rome. Where Mourinho goes, where Matic follows, their relationship goes without saying. Matic, too, is free.
However, many people are worried about Nemanja Matic's age, after all, he is already 33 years old. In fact, this worry is not necessary. Serie A has always been a paradise for veterans. What's more, after the arrival of Nemanja Matic, it is not necessarily the main force, becoming a rotating main force, which is completely enough. Mourinho's Roma really needs a role like Nemanja Matic: a back with both attack and defense.
Transforming Roma will take at least two seasons. The first season, has come to an end. In the second season, Roma will play for the top four. In the third season, it is possible to have the strength to compete for the championship. If Mourinho can succeed in Rome, there is no doubt that he will return to the ranks of world-class managers. For him, this is both an opportunity and a challenge.
