Jose Mourinho era has already begun in Rome, and the Portuguese wants to clear the locker room, literally. AC Roma is selling 23 players, since the new coach doesn’t need them anymore. And while the majority of them comes from the youth sector, there are a number of well established first team players who have a value in the transfer market. In fact, they are worth around 5 billion Ksh.After taking over Roma, Mourinho had plenty of time during EURO 2020 to take a long and detailed look at his squad and made a transfer list with the players who are no longer needed. Some of them are already training separately, some have not being registered for the upcoming season, and sporting director Tiago Pinto will have a lot of work trying to get rid of them. So far, Roma only earned 155 million Ksh through player sales and they bought for over 5.8 billion. They need more money.Mkhitaryan holds no grudge over Mourinho – what happened in Manchester, stayed in ManchesterJavier Pastore, Steven Nzonzi, Florenzi, Federico Fazio, Pedro Rodriguez, Davide Santon, Robin Olsen, Ante Coric and William Bianda are most famous among the group of 23 unwanted players. The club captain Florenzi is surprisingly amnog them and he he remained in the capital after the corona test, while the squad left for Portugal. Florenzi doesn’t want to be the second choice behind Rick Karsdorp next season and Roma could earn a lot on their captain, especially since his wage is a big one. But, there are no suitors for him at the moment, as well as for other players on the list. Many of them are either in serous age, or command a big wage or are injury phone, and other clubs will wait for the last moment to try to get them for as little as possible.🟨🇺🇿🟥 Proud to wear this jersey!!!

I used to watch a lot of Roma matches, so I know a bit about it. It all got decided very quickly. They were very eager to get it signed and I think they acted very quickly. I would like, first of all, to help my team to win trophies and overcome challenges too“ said Shomurodov.
