Roma's Dutch winger Kluivert Jr. joined Ligue 1 side Nice on loan with a 15 million euro buyout clause that triggers a mandatory buyout clause if a loan player makes a specified number of appearances and helps Nice qualify for Europe. So judging from the current situation, the fate of Kluivert Jr. and Roma should be regarded as coming to an end.
Justin Kluivert is the second son of Dutch star Kluivert, so he is often called Kluivert Jr. by fans. Debuted in Ajax's youth academy and officially became a first-team player in the 16-17 season. During his time at Ajax, he made 56 appearances in all competitions, scoring 13 goals and assisting 10 times. Joining Roma in the summer of 2018, due to poor performances in Roma, RB Leipzig, who was loaned to the Bundesliga last season, did not perform as expected. 27 appearances, scoring 4 goals. However, RB Leipzig finally finished third in the Bundesliga, which is a good result, but it has little to do with him.
Mourinho originally wanted to keep Cruyvet Jr., and Mourinho admired him as early as when Kluivert Jr. played for Ajax. In 2017 Mourinho led Manchester United to defeat Ajax in the Europa League final, Mourinho found Kluivert Jr. on the sidelines and chatted with him for a few minutes, and later the media revealed that Mourinho told him to tell Kluivert Jr. that he hoped he would be able to join his team in the future.
Roma have many wingers, Suchawi, Kluivert Jr., Yundale and others, Mourinho is the most important Cruyvit, but Mourinho can not promise his playing time. This is also the main reason for the departure of the players, after all, Kluivert Jr. is only 22 years old now, and he is eager to play more games to prove himself.
Recently, Nice officially announced the signing of the Dutch international Rosario of Eindhoven, so far this Ligue 1 powerhouse has signed three Dutch internationals this summer: Stens, Cruyvet Jr. and Rosario. Nice signed 24-year-old Eindhoven midfielder Rosario for 6 million euros and Alkmaar winger Stens for 15 million euros. Maybe being with so many of his fellow countrymen can help Kluivert Jr. find his feelings back. Relatively speaking, the environment in Ligue 1 is more comfortable, and many players are regaining their form in Ligue 1. Good luck to Kluivert Jr. (Editor-in-Charge: Tai Neng Meow)
