Roma boss, Jose Mourinho, rued the financial constrains he is bound by at the Serie A club and added that his side\u2019s \u201creality is different\u201d to that of Manchester City.<\/p>\n
While the Italian side did spend upwards of \u20ac100 million ($109m) in Mourinho\u2019s first season at the club, they\u2019ve spent just \u20ac9.5m on transfers across the last two seasons to comply with UEFA\u2019s financial fair play regulations.<\/p>\n
First-choice center back Roger Iba\u00f1ez was sold to Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli in August to help balance the books, and it\u2019s also why Romelu Lukaku and Renato Sanches, their two marquee signings this summer, arrived on loan deals.<\/p>\n
The limited spending power coupled with long-term injuries to striker Tammy Abraham and defender Chris Smalling has left Roma struggling in fourth place in the Serie A. Center-back Evan Ndicka\u2019s departure for the African Cup of Nations in January will leave the defence further depleted.<\/p>\n
Mourinho is keen to bolster the squad in the January transfer window but understands the difficulty Roma will face in doing so.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot that I\u2019m jealous, but Man City paid \u20ac80 million ($87m) for [Kalvin] Phillips and now Pep [Guardiola] has said it would be better for him to leave in January. So he\u2019ll leave and they\u2019ll get someone else,\u201d Mourinho said in his news conference ahead of Roma\u2019s Europa League clash with Sheriff.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur reality is very different. We\u2019d like one, two, three or four new players. Tiago [Pinto] too. And the owners too. We all want to try and improve the team, to make us better for the second half of the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, it\u2019s not easy for us to do that. I\u2019ll be honest, if we bring in a defender in January, I\u2019ll already be happy. But if you ask me if I\u2019d like more than that, of course I\u2019d like more. But it\u2019s not possible. They\u2019re working to try to give me options, to give me a defender.\u201d<\/p>\n
Phillips, who City actually signed for \u20ac49 million in 2022, made only his second start for the club this season in their 3-2 win over Red Star Belgrade on Wednesday and scored a penalty. Sources told ESPN last month that Newcastle United are lining up a move for the England midfielder.<\/p>\n
