Mourinho is testing the waters for the former Juventus captain and is considering the Serbian in case Spinazzola departs: an update on the latest plots of Roma after they secured Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea.
Roma on fire: Mourinho wants Kostic and Bonucci
According to Tuttosport Roma seems to have made a inquiry for Filip Kostic, who is highly rated by Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese coach is looking for a new left-sided winger in case Spinazzola departs for Manchester United.
However, it’s unlikely that Juventus would agree to a loan with an option to buy, especially to a direct competitor. It’s more likely that Kostic could move to the Premier League or return to the Bundesliga if offers in the range of €15 million arrive in the coming hours.
Work is in progress, but having slipped to the third choice for the left-wing position, the former Eintracht Frankfurt player has started to explore his options. With the Weah-McKennie duo on the right, Juventus currently has an abundance on the opposite flank, with the presence of the starter Cambiaso and Iling Jr as backup.
the Bonucci Chapter
A different scenario is unfolding for Leonardo Bonucci, who is certainly set to move away from Turin.
Not to Germany, despite Union Berlin‘s efforts: the captain of the National team (perhaps not for much longer…) wants to end his career in Italy and is waiting for the right opportunity.
Lazio remains his preferred destination, as it would allow him to continue playing in the Champions In the background, there’s always Genoa, which would welcome him with open arms.
However, Yesterday afternoon, rumors also emerged from the capital of an interest from Roma: in the morning, there was reportedly a call between the Giallorossi management and Bonucci’s entourage which was categorized as an exploratory inquiry.
Everything should unfold in the coming hours as we are just 2 days aways from the end of the transfer window.
