Chelsea duo targeted by Jose Mourinho in potential Roma raid

Both players have failed to see action this season, suggesting that Mauricio Pochettino has not included them in his plans.

Allegedly, Mourinho and Roma are paying attention to the pair’s decline in status due to the return of Levi Colwill from his loan spell at Brighton & Hove Albion and the arrival of Axel Disasi from Monaco.

The defenders, according to Calciomercato, are Mourinho’s objective because of their expertise playing in a back three, a formation that the manager has used at Roma.

In the Italian capital, Chalobah would be joined by fellow English defender Chris Smalling, Tammy Abraham, and another ex-Chelsea teammate.

Also, Sarr is no stranger to change of scenery; since joining Chelsea from Nice in 2020, he has had loan spells at Porto and Monaco.

With Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala providing firepower up forward, Mourinho is clearly prioritizing defensive additions after his team kept only four clean sheets in the first twelve Serie A matches of the season.

Giаnlucа Mаncini, Ԁiegо Llоrente (оn lоаn frоm LeeԀs UniteԀ), аnԀ Evаn NԀickа аre tҺe оnly seniоr center bаcks оn tҺe rоster Ԁue tо Smаlling’s injury prоblems.

Overall, Roma haven’t been great this season, and their tie with Lazio in the Derby della Capitale just before the break kept them out of the playoff contention.

However, they have won their first three games in the Europa League and are heavy favorites to advance from their group, so another trip to Europe might be in their future.
