Roma finished a big job even before the start of the summer transfer window. Experienced stopper and former member of Manchester United Chris Smalling has agreed to sign a new contract with Giallorossi, reports Corriere Dello Sport. The contract of the great stopper and one of Mourinho’s regulars was expiring at the end of this season, which fueled numerous speculations about his future, after an excellent performances for Roma in the last two seasons. Inter were showing an interest in Smalling, which only made Rome more hesitant to complete the job.What is Smalling’s situation? Is it related to your situation? Jose:”Its him and I’m me. I have an extra year on my contract, he’s not: they’re completely different situations.” pic.twitter.com/z6BPz9kS8f— JJ🇯🇵 (@Josejapan1978) April 8, 2023 Official announcement is yet to come, but it is a matter of time. The Italian media are writing that the manager of the 33-year-old defender, James Faderston, has already arrived in the Italian capital and made an agreement with people from Roma. Smalling should sign a contract until the summer of 2025, when he will most likely end his career. The Giallorossi boss Jose Mourinho didn’t want to see a similar scenario as with Henrykh Mkhitaryan, who departed to Inter on a free transfer last season, after failing to agree to a new contract at Stadio Olimpico. Mou wanted Smalling to be one of the leaders of his team.Former Manchester United player saw a UFO and he’s seriousThe management of Roma raised the initial offer and agreed to provide Smalling with an income of 3,500,000 million euros with bonuses. This is a slightly lower figure than the one that Smalling is currently receiving, but his age (33) should also be taken into account. He should officially sign the new contract next week. ##NAJAVA_MECA_7171927##
