Borja Mayoral was one of the (few) good news in the complicated course of Roma. The forward has lived in Italy the best season of his career, adding 17 goals (with today's double against Crotone), seven assists and 43 presences. The Calcio team took it on loan from Real Madrid for two years, with a double purchase option that will cost 15 million euros this summer and 20 the next. The Italian media consider him one of the names on which José Mourinho's project will start, although it is still not clear if the Romans will step forward to keep his file now or renew the loan.
The coach, of course, knows the 24-year-old striker well, with whom he already worked at Real Madrid. His agent, Alejandro Camano, confirmed it to AS: “Borja and Mourinho worked together during a preseason at Real Madrid. We are very excited about starting this new stage.” The forward is very happy in Italy, where he has found continuity and the best performance of his career as a professional. His representative, in recent weeks, did not rule out that Roma can exercise the purchase option already in the next market. A possibility that is becoming more concrete in recent days, since according to the Corriere dello Sport, the coach “can't wait” to work with the player. The arrival of Mourinho has awakened the illusion in the club after a few gray weeks: Mayoral wants to be one of the protagonists in the next giallorossa season, which aims to be historic. And Mourinho awaits you.
