Roma boss Jose Mourinho is reportedly interested in signing Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin after being priced out of a move for Manchester United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka. After winning the inaugural Europa Conference League in his first season at the Stadio Olimpico, the Portuguese manager is expected to be heavily backed in the summer transfer window.
Mourinho was critical of the depth of his squad throughout the previous campaign, and his options could become further reduced with Henrikh Mkhitaryan linked with a move to Inter Milan. Meanwhile, Gunners loanee Ainsley Maitland-Niles has returned to Emirates Stadium following his six-month loan deal.
There were widespread reports that Mourinho was keen to bring Wan-Bissaka to the Serie A side. However, United are believed to have placed a sizable price tag on his head in the hope of recouping much of the £50million they paid Crystal Palace for his services in 2019.
