José Mourinho always had very clear ideas about the most important reinforcement in this market for his Roma. Abraham’s injury, which in June suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will be out of action for the entire first half of the season (at least), it forces the giallorossi to look for a signing of quality and experience.
And the Portuguese has a name underlined at the top of his list: that of Alvaro Morata. It is an idea that has been on the table of sports director Tiago Pinto for weeks and that the Italians want to see it become a reality as soon as possible. The coach knows the striker and he loves his character, his international experience, his willingness to sacrifice and his marksmanship. Mourinho has a special ally in this battle: Paulo Dybala. The Argentine, for the mattress, is much more than a friend. They are already family: in January, La Joya and her partner, Oriana Sabatini, announced that they would be godfather and godmother to Bella Morata, the fourth daughter of Álvaro and Alice Campello.
Getting the signing of the Spaniard, as well as being a perfect hit on a technical level, It would also serve to convince the Argentine to stop listening to the offers that may arrive between now and July 31., the day on which its termination clause (of just 12 million) for foreigners expires. A fundamental operation for the romanista sports director Tiago Pinto, who He would put a contract on the table until 2027 and a salary that would be around four million net, plus variables. In recent weeks, the former Juve player was also in the sights of Milan, who did not accelerate for his incorporation (also due to requests from Atleti) and, now, he could see himself advanced by the giallorossi.
Morata’s link with Calcio and with Italy is enormous on a personal and professional level, and the romanista proposal is tempting. The forward lived four years in Serie A and in the Bel Paese He found the love of his life. He knows the country, the league, he speaks Italian perfectly, he knows that he is a respected player at Calcio and that in the capital there is a coach and a great friend who are waiting for him with open arms. The alternative, as AS already published, is Saudi Arabia, with its unrivaled economic conditions and already promising, in addition, quality of life for his family, but also saying goodbye to elite football and Europe.
If your “yes, I want” arrives, (and in Italy there is enormous optimism) Roma will sit down to negotiate with Atleti willing to approach their requests, although searching inevitably a discount on the 20 million that has been discussed so far. Meanwhile, Dybala and Mourinho cross their fingers. A month ago, Alice Campello showed a photo of her four children, all wearing the elastic giallorossa. It was a gift from his uncle Paulo. Of those that are never coincidence.
