Why does Jose Mourinho only have a transfer fee of 1.5 million euros and it is basically clear where he will go next season
The Serie A winter window has begun, and the major giants have begun to look for their "prey", but for Roma led by Mourinho, this season's winter window is definitely a "cold winter". Due to the restrictions set out in UEFA's Financial Fair Play Act, the maximum transfer budget that Roma can use in the winter window is only 1.5 million euros, which also includes the player's base salary, loan fees and signing fees.
Seeing such a "huge" transfer fee, will Mourinho want to cry without tears, there is no transfer fee for the relegation team. 1.5 million euros in the Chinese Super League in the "Golden Yuan Era" can't even buy a player of Gao Lin's level, and ordinary foreign aid won't look at it. However, this 1.5 million euros is the lifeline for Mourinho in the second half of the season, how sad.
Thinking about back then, how high-spirited Mourinho was when he first landed in the Premier League in 2004, Chelsea's new owner Abramov took a check and asked Mourinho to scold Fang You, bringing together Drogba, Cech, Terry, Lampard and other stars to create the famous "iron chariot" of Chelsea. That season, they broke Manchester United and Arsenal's dominance of the Premier League, won Chelsea's first league title in the Premier League era, and conceded 15 goals for the fewest goals conceded in a single season.
At that time, Mourinho was the brightest star in the coaching world, unlike those famous stars who turned coaches after retiring, Mourinho belonged to the grassroots counterattack, led Inter Milan to the first "treble" of Serie A, and won the love of a large number of fans, including many ordinary coaches, who also want to be heroes like Mourinho to stand on the podium of the Champions League.
Jose Mourinho is the prodigal son of coaching, and he doesn't want to stay at a club for too long. He has coached too many big clubs, he has been recognized at Real Madrid, Chelsea, Inter Milan and has suffered Waterloo, and his coaching experience at Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur is a past that Mourinho does not want to recall.
Mourinho was willing to coach Roma because he was moved by the sincerity of the club owner at the beginning, but now because of the impact of UEFA's Financial Fair Play Act, the club owner cannot invest much, and there is no sign of renewing Mourinho's contract. And Mourinho's initiative to renew his contract is actually the enthusiasm of the Roma fans who moved him, even if the team's performance fluctuated, the fans still supported the team and the players supported Mourinho, and the more than the attendance of the Rome Olympic Stadium and the singing of the fans moved Mourinho, and he didn't want to lose these fans.
No matter how plump the ideal is, the reality is still very skinny. With the start of the Asian Cup and Africa Cup of Nations this month, Azmoun and defender Ndicka are leaving, Smalling and Kumubula are still unable to play, and the backline, which is already short of major generals, is even more stretched this time. There had been rumours that Bonucci was coming, but the club's hierarchy did not approve the deal because the player was too old and had a bad relationship with Roma.
In order to be able to finish in the top four in the second half of the season and fight for a Champions League qualification, it is not possible to buy people, and in order to make up the transfer fee, it can only be done by selling people first, and the only feasible way is to sell Spinazzola and the "standard king" Celik. Spinazzola has plans to go to Saudi Arabia to pan for gold, and Celik is at the bottom of the right wing-back position, and it doesn't matter if he sells it, and the most important thing is to use the money to buy a reliable central defender.
Mourinho is really aggrieved in Rome, the club's willingness to renew his contract is not so strong, and Italy has also canceled the growth decree, which casts a shadow on the future recruitment of Serie A clubs, and if he renews his contract with Mourinho, he will have to pay a huge amount of money. So. Judging from the current financial situation of the Roma club, there is almost no possibility of renewing the contract with Mourinho, and there is a high probability that he will leave Roma next season.
