Jose Mourinho has admitted that he is “a bit frustrated” with Roma’s lack of activity in the summer transfer window.
Mourinho enjoyed a brilliant end to the 2021/22 season when Roma beat Feyenoord 1-0 to win the maiden Europa Conference League final in May. The former Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham boss was hoping to build on the success – Roma’s first trophy for 13 years – by making the most of the summer off-season.
That is yet to materialise in the Italian capital. Roma have signed three players so far, but only defender Zeki Çelik, who arrived from Lille, involved the payment of a transfer fee. Nemanja Matic joined up with Mourinho for a third time on a free transfer from Manchester United, while goalkeeper Mile Svilar moved from Benfica when his contract expired.
