Rome transfer market: Senesi, Luiz and Farias goals. Totti can come back

Gratitude. Let’s not hide it, it is a very noble feeling that each of us would like to be the object of. Football, however, has trajectories that recommend its use in variable quantities. How many times has it been said that Enzo Bearzot in 1986, Marcello Lippi in 2010 and Roberto Mancini himself in the last, melancholy qualifiers for Qatar 2022, have shown too much gratitude towards the core of players who had brought them to the World Cup and the European Championship?

Here, the feeling is that Rome – undoubtedly destined to strengthen, but without losing sight of the suffering of the budget – does not want to run aground in the shallows of paralyzing nostalgia, but to exploit the possible opportunities to grow, even at the cost of losing some of the splendid protagonists of the triumph in the Conference League. To be clear, as you can read in other pages of the newspaper, if Inter’s proposal to Mkhitaryan was unbeatable or if Zaniolo decided not to sign the renewal and preferred to agree with Milan or Juventus, the Giallorossi club has no intention of making potentially pernicious auctions. , but will look for players of similar value at an affordable cost.

To indicate them, then, there could be an external reinforcement (so to speak). This is Francesco Totti, who also met with the Friedkin family in Tirana. The rumors of Trigoria want the return of the former captain to be also wanted by Mourinho himself, who has contacted him several times to convince him. “Everyone knows my attachment to the Giallorossi colors – said Totti himself a few days ago – but to marry it takes two”. The feeling is that the wedding rehearsals have already started, with all the necessary compromises. For example, at least at the beginning he will not be able to have that operational role in choosing the players he always wanted, but his experience of him could be useful in facilitating the work of “scouting”, as well as in convincing the players in the sights to move. to Rome. Needless to say, how much a return of him could be appreciated by the fans, who are rediscovering a sense of belonging that has not been seen for years. Suffice it to say that in terms of season tickets it is now considered possible to reach thirty thousand cards, a fact that has not been seen on the banks of the Tiber for many years.

The choices

—

And then begins the super job for the general manager Tiago Pinto, caught between purchases, sales and renewals. In terms of objectives, the discussion is being made to have Senesi from Feyenoord. The Argentine defender also liked in the Conference final and to make room for him in the squad Roma would be ready to give up even one of the current central players. If Smalling is immovable and Mancini has already virtually renewed, whoever would allow the greatest capital gain would undoubtedly be Ibanez, but Kumbulla will also have to be evaluated. In the role of director, the dream would always be called Douglas Luiz of Aston Villa, in which the company could invest even thirty million, despite the contract expiring next year. For the advanced department, look for a “new entry”. This is Facundo Farias, 19, a winger-midfielder who plays for the Colon and is already in the Under 20 national team. Great good is said of him, so much so that demand is currently around 10 million. . On the renewal front, a meeting is scheduled for Cristante next week, even if the midfielder is heavily courted by Milan. Certainly on the way out, then, there are also Veretotu and Perez, taking into account that for the attack Guedes of Valencia is always followed, while from Argentina they still evoke the courtship of José Mourinho in Dybala.

The Mou line

In any case, in the next season Roma intend to raise the bar and, in a motion of affection the same Mou posted yesterday on Instagram, the Portuguese coach makes it clear how you already work for the future. “It was incredible, unforgettable emotions, but I need to think about ‘what will happen next'”, he writes. Adding at the end: “One day I will leave Rome and Rome, this is the law of football, but more than one or more cups I would like to see this club united forever by this passion and love”. A warning to the Friedkins or just a consideration full of inevitability? At the moment we like to think that it is the second hypothesis. Although one thing is certain: the Special One wants to raise the level of the team. And disappointing him would be melancholy.
