There must be some kind of curse in Rome. Maybe someone has been burning muti in Trigoria, the Gialorossi training centre or something. Either way, Jose Mourinho’s team is having no luck whatsoever with injuries this season. The most distressing one was Georginio Wijnaldum’s sustained broken shin bone in training. The calendar can’t be changed, the competition won’t wait – so new solutions are needed. And one of the potential solutions is Mady Camara.##NAJAVA_MECA_6596635##Less than one week since learning Wijnaldum would be unavailable until the new year, Roma are deep into discussions with Greek giants Olympiakos about a potential transfer deal for their 25-year-old midfielder Camara. The 25-year-old has been at the Karaiskaki Stadium since 2018 and is a key player for the red and whites of Pireaus. A strong defensive anchor, the Guinean midfielder made 181 appearances, scoring 19 goals and assisting 13 times.The Greek side were previously engaged in negotiations with Monza for Camara. However, the club from the Italian capital entered the race and is now the prime candidate for the midfielder’s signature.Mady Camara is exactly what Roma needs in that midfield, workrate, fitness, strength and aggression, destroyer type of a CM.If it fails, get Mourinho Boubakary Soumare. pic.twitter.com/qjN8cXHqxN— MourinhoXtra™ (@Mourinho_Xtra) August 25, 2022 It’s hardly a surprising development given Camara is represented by the football agency CAA Base Soccer. Two of the company’s most prominent figures, Paolo Busardo and Frank Trimboli, have a strong relationship with Roma transfer supremo Tiago Pinto.Although the deal hasn’t been finalised, Roma are relatively confident they can close the operation quickly after Olympiakos already agreed to allow the player to leave.SERIE A – MATCHDAY 3FridayMonza – Udinese 1-2 (1-1)/Colpani 32 – Beto 36, Udogie 77/Lazio – Inter 3-1 (1-0)/Anderson 40, Luis Alberto 75, Pedro 86 – Lautaro 51/Saturday19.30: (2.40) Juventus (3.25) Roma (3.30)19.30: (3.25) Cremonese (3.30) Torino (2.40)21.45: (3.00) Spezia (3.50) Sassuolo (2.45)21.45: (1.37) Milan (5.30) Bologna (9.00)Sunday19.30: (4.30) Verona (3.70) Atalanta (1.90)19.30: (2.50) Salernitana (3.30) Sampdoria (3.10)21.45: (3.35) Fiorentina (3.50) Napoli (2.25)21.45: (2.45) Lecce (3.40) Empoli (3.05)***odds are subject to change
