The head coach of "Roma" Jose Mourinho commented on the situation surrounding the team's midfielder Niccolò Zagnolo, who asked the Roman club to sell him.
"I have a feeling that he will be here on February 1st. The transfer window is open and Niccolo wants to leave, but in the end I think he will stay with us. He told us he wanted to leave, but I'm not sure he would. Why? Usually, when a player wants to leave and tells you about it, it's because there's a big offer on the table. But so far, there is nothing for Zagnolo. That's why I think he'll be here in a week.
Right now he wants to leave, that's what I have to accept. But where is an acceptable proposal for Roma that could help us? Because if Nicolo goes, someone has to replace him. And if he spends six months somewhere else, even if it's in a good league or a good team, we're not going to trade him. Because this is an unacceptable situation and I'm sorry that Thiago Pinto looks bad in this story.
I have seen the names of Deulofeu and Ziyech mentioned in the media, but we are not looking into them. Still, I think that nothing will happen to Zaniolo," DAZN quotes Mourinho.
