José Mourinho, the coach of AS Roma, has expressed his desire to sign goalkeeper Rui Silva from Real Betis Balompié, according to Italian media reports. Roma’s interest in the Portuguese goalkeeper is not new, since two years ago there was talk of a possible transfer before he arrived at Betis from Granada as a free agent.
Currently, Roma’s goal is in the hands of experienced 35-year-old Portuguese goalkeeper Rui Patrício. However, the romanista leaders have set their sights on Rui Silva, 29, who alternates ownership with the veteran Claudio Bravo, 40, in the Verdiblanco team. Coach Manuel Pellegrini usually aligns Bravo in the most important matches.
Mourinho asks Roma to sign a star from Betis
Recently, it was learned in Italy that Betis had submitted an offer to Vicenza for the young goalkeeper Sebastiano Desplanches, who was crowned runner-up in the U-20 World Cup with Italy and was chosen as the best goalkeeper of the tournament. This indicates that Betis are likely to make moves in their goal, especially if a good offer for Rui Silva arrives.
The substitute goalkeeper for Betis, Dani Martín, is being wanted by Sporting de Gijón, his former team, so it is likely that he will leave the Verdiblanco club. If an interesting offer arrives for Rui Silva, it is likely that the Betis sports management is willing to consider it.

More news on this possible transfer is expected in the coming days, and it will be interesting to see how the negotiations between the two clubs develop. Meanwhile, Rui Silva continues to be a key player in the Betis goal and his future will depend on the decisions made by the club’s managers and the offers that may arrive.
