José Mourinho has put on the table of the Roman board the first name with which to reinforce AS Roma in the next winter transfer market: Nacho Fernández. Together with the footballers that he pointed out and put in the spotlight as possible exits after the embarrassing defeat of the Conference League against Bodo / Glimt, the Portuguese coach started a particular “shopping list” in which, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport, the current white footballer seems to be a priority. And, as reported by this same Italian media, Mourinho intends to incorporate two new midfielders, a full back, a central defender and a forward in the winter transfer window.
Nacho, with a contract until June 2023 with Real Madrid, became an important part of the white defense as a result of the multiple injuries suffered by the Santiago Bernabéu team during the past year, especially that of Sergio Ramos. Instead, this season his situation has changed. After starting the course as a starter, scoring a goal on the opening day of LaLiga for Madrid, and playing seven league games and two in the Champions League, The 31-year-old youth squad has accumulated three consecutive substitutions in the league championship (since the 2-1 loss to RCD Espanyol) and one in Europe against Shakhtar Donetsk.
Although it is an express request of José Mourinho, this is not the first time that the name of Nacho Fernández is related to the many, given that the madridista was close to visiting the Italian capital in 2017. If he ended up signing for Roma during the month of January, the Spanish defender would meet again with Mourinho, the coach with whom he played a total of 16 games between the 2010/2011, 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 seasons.
