The problem of Rome it’s the salary amount. Not so much because it is high (and it is), but rather because the millions that are given out annually do not correspond to performances on par with the salaries. An example? Karsdorp. The Dutchman earns 2.2 million annually (contract extended and adjusted by Tiago Pinto until 2025), but his performance is well below expectations. (…) Ready to say hello are: Karsdorp, Rui Patricio (3 million), Huijsen (800 thousand euros), Llorente (2.7), Kristensen (2), Spinazzola (3), Renato Sanches (3.6), Azmoun (1.7) and Lukaku (7.5 ). The total savings would be approximately 24 million net. Salaries that will then be spread out to cover the missing boxes, therefore, a second goalkeeper (Svilar will remain but whose salary will be increased), at least a couple of defenders, two wingers, a midfielder and a couple of attackers. Furthermore, the difficulty will be to find alternatives (in some cases) better than those that will go away, to be used continuously during the season. Renato Sanches was an announced flop who contributed to ruining the season, forcing first Mourinho and then De Rossi to squeeze the starting midfielders. (…)
