Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: the “Little sister” interview with Geyoro, Karchaoui and Périsset!
Georginio Wijnaldum, Nemanja Matic, Mile Svilar, Zeki Celik and Paulo Dybala: AS Roma’s 2022 summer transfer window has nothing to envy to the others. The Roman club only spent €7 million for the former Lille player, all the other recruits having arrived free, enough to satisfy José Mourinho. The Portuguese technician welcomed the recruitment of his club this summer.
“To have taken five players of this quality for 7 million euros, I can only applaud. Only Lecce and Sampdoria have spent less than us (in Serie A, editor’s note).”
However, the Special One refuses to consider itself a favorite for the title and underlines the loss of Jordan Veretout, who left for OM, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who signed for Inter, “two important players” for the Giallorossi.
“We improved our squad, but so did the others. […] Talking about us as title contenders seems to me to be selling a product that isn’t real. […] The truth is that we want to do better, mainly in the league where we finished sixth last season.”
