AS Roma head coach Jose Mourinho has said that he wants to sign Andrea Belotti, who has been linked with Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United and Frank Lampard’s Everton, as relayed by well-known and well-respected journalist Fabrizio Romano on Twitter.
The Sun reported on July 22 that Belotti has ben offered to Newcastle United, West Ham United and Everton.
The Italy international striker, who won Euro 2020, is a free agent at the moment following his departure from Torino at the end of last season.
Mourinho has now publicly said that he wants to sign the 28-year-old striker for Roma.
Andrea Belotti blow for Newcastle and Everton
In our view, Jose Mourinho publicly saying that he wants to sign Andrea Belotti for AS Roma is a blow for Newcastle United and Everton.
Yes, Newcastle and Everton are big and established clubs in the Premier League, but Roma are a powerhouse in Italy who are aiming to win the Serie A title this season.
Mourinho is one of the best managers in the world, and working with him would be very tempting for Belotti.
Moreover, the striker is used to playing in Serie A, and he could simply decide to stay in Italy and continue to stay in his home country.
