The AS Rome is in search of a central defender who can give the team a leap in quality for next season with the aim of winning the A serieswhich has become the main objective of José Mourinho to break with the club’s bad years in the Italian first division.
The Portuguese coach needs one more piece to strengthen the defensive line, taking into account that he currently has Smalling, Mancini, Ibáñez and Kumbulla and that he uses a system with three central defenders, so he needs one more central defender of a higher level. And the one chosen by José Mourinho is Victor Lindelof.
Víctor Lïndelof, the center-back chosen by José Mourinho
The Swede is the fourth center back in Erik Ten Hag’s rotation at Manchester United and would be interested in leaving for continuity. Roma is an interesting option because he would become a starter, he knows José Mourinho well and would be part of a top-level project with the ability to fight for the Serie A title.
Víctor Lindelöf’s contract ends in the summer of 2024, so his price is not very high. The problem is that Eric Bailly will be leaving the club in the next few days, so he could leave the club with only three centre-backs in the rotation. The decision has Erik Ten Hag.
