Roma manager Pinto has been under a lot of pressure lately.
More than half of July has passed, and Roma are still making no progress in the market, especially the vacancy in the forward line is worrying. Previously, Italian media reported that the possibility of Roma bringing in two strikers at the same time as Scamarca and Morata was not ruled out, which turned out to be the biggest joke in the Serie A transfer market in July, and the Red Wolves may now not only lose these two intended forwards at the same time, it is likely that even Okafor, Taremi and Arnautovic in the alternative are difficult to sign, the most important reason is that the Red Wolves are now unwilling to spend money and take risks, and only want to rely on loan and visa-free to pick up leaks, which has led them to always be in a passive position at the negotiating table.
Not only the forward line, Roma are also struggling to recruit in the midfield position, they hope to rely on loan to bring in Bayern midfielder Sabitzer, Mourinho has called the player himself, Sabitzer is flattered by Mourinho, but flattered does not mean that he is willing to join Roma, his high salary and Roma's inability to participate in the Champions League are still obstacles to the success of the transfer. Of course, Roma have other options, and many media believe that Roma are also interested in Paris Saint-Germain's Sanches, in addition, Pinto and Bologna midfielder Dominguez are also eyebrows, and Kamata, who is currently a free agent, is also on Roma's shortlist. However, it must be emphasized that as time went on, the options available to Rome would only become fewer and fewer, and Pinto would likely be in a hurry to return to the hospital.
Some Italian media even pointed out that it is likely that there will be a situation where Pinto continues to extend Wijnaldum's loan to Paris Saint-Germain at the last moment, first of all, the Dutch is familiar with the environment in the Roma team and hopes to prove himself to Mourinho again, and secondly, Wijnaldum's current social account avatar is still a photo of him wearing a Roman shirt, which means that he has no love for Roma, and does not rule out the possibility that Roma really still eats back grass when he is cooked without raw. If all this comes true, it can really be said that it is a failure of Roma's transfer market this season, especially after the defeat of the Inter Milan competition for Fratesi, Roma's current midfield configuration has declined compared to last season, and if it is not possible to bring in players like Sabitzer, Mourinho's pressure in the midfield will be even tougher in the new season.
In addition to bringing in new signings, Mourinho is also considering retaining some important young players in the team, Zalevski and Bovais are currently close to renewing their contracts with Roma, the former was once put into the transfer market, but the madman left the Polish youngster at the last moment, and now Zalevski is worth 20 million euros, this number will only continue to rise in the new season, and Bovais will also get more opportunities next season, but now his contract extension with Roma has been temporarily suspended due to annual salary, but all this will not be much of a problem. After selling Volpato and Misori, Roma left two young cornerstones.
