Roma have turned the corner after hiring Daniele De Rossi and could potentially benefit from that economically as well. Several of their players bounced back under the young gaffer, and their valuations have increased, Il Messaggero informs.
The biggest example is Mile Svilar, who was a deputy under José Mourinho. He turned out to be a reliable starter once given the chance. He might even start for Belgium in Euro 2024 considering Thibaut Courtois’ latest injury setback.
The young goalie will likely stay put for a few years, but Roma are set to receive some offers for him in the summer. Wolverhampton and West Ham sent scouts to watch him during the recent clash with Brighton.
On top of Svilar, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Evan N’Dicka, and Leandro Paredes have fared much better with De Rossi in the dugout. The Argentine has a strong bond with the club icon and had previously asked for permission to wear his number.
Mourinho often dismissed the AFCON champion’s fit in a four-man line, but that hasn’t been a problem. The center-back has been a lot more reliable than in the first half of the season.
Our Take on De Rossi’s Roma
He has been doing a great job, proving you don’t need all those antics to succeed despite the city’s passion and peculiarity. On the other hand, the FFP restrictions are looming, and the check will be due again soon, probably even before the formal start of the summer window.
