Jose Mourinho's Roma team did not perform well in the first six rounds of Serie A, and even fell into the relegation zone at one point. However, after just eight games, Roma have climbed to fourth place in Serie A and secured an early spot in the Europa League. This series of outstanding performances has attracted a lot of attention from fans and **. According to the famous Italian football journalist Schira, Roma are ready to restart contract renewal negotiations with Mourinho, planning to renew Mourinho's contract until 2026. Jose Mourinho's contract expires at the end of the season. Mourinho received a huge amount of money from the Saudi league last summer, but he chose to stay in Rome in order to make up for the Europa League defeat and lead Roma back to the Champions League. Although some European giants have also tried to invite Mourinho to the helm, judging from the current situation, Mourinho's contract renewal with Roma is developing in a good direction.
In order to achieve the goal of qualifying for the Champions League, Roma will do their best to provide financial support and help the team bring in strong reinforcements. However, before buying people, Roma need to raise funds for reinforcements through ** players. According to Italian slow motion, Roma could be in for happy troubles in 2024 and will need to split playing time between the likes of Dybala, Romelu Lukaku, Azmoun, El Shaarawy, Tammy Abraham and Belotti. Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku, who is currently in hot form, has become a regular in the attack, and Tammy Abraham's imminent return from injury will also make the competition for the main striker more intense. Although Roma experienced a slump in the early part of the season, under Mourinho's leadership, the team has started the season in counterattack mode. If Roma manage to reach the Champions League, there is a good chance that the two sides will sign a new contract extension this summer to continue the good times for both sides.
Recently, there has been news in the Italian football circle that Roma's two strikers, Manuel Pellegrini and Belotti, may leave the team in the winter transfer window. The news caused an uproar among fans and made the team's future uncertain. Manuel Pellegrini is Roma's leading scorer, but his performances this season have not been as good as they could have been. He has not scored in several games in a row and his form has dropped significantly. As an Italian international, Belotti has a good scoring record, but he has played less than 50% of his time. Fans are starting to worry about the impact on the team's attacking prowess, especially in Europe. It is reported that the Roma team is actively looking for a replacement. Team president Joshua Palotta has already said they will bring in new strikers during the winter transfer window.
The team's goal is to stabilize the team's offensive end in a short period of time and lay a solid foundation for the team's performance in the second half of the season. Of course, all this is not so easy. Manuel Pellegrini and Belotti are both important members of the squad and their departure will have a significant impact on the team's attack. But if a suitable transfer is available, the team may still consider using the two strikers to raise more transfer funds for other positions. Roma fans reacted mixed to the news. Some fans expressed their understanding of the team's approach and believed that the team needed to bring in fresh blood to boost the team's morale. While other fans were unhappy with the team's decision-making, believing that Manuel Pellegrini and Belotti were the core players of the team and that the team should keep them instead of selling them.
Regardless of the final decision, we hope that Roma can continue to maintain their attacking strength in future matches and bring more exciting games to the fans.
