JAKARTA - Roma and new manager José Mourinho have prioritized a new goalkeeper during this summer's transfer window. They are looking for options for the main goalkeeper next season.
One of the first names the Giallorossi focused on was 33-year-old Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio.
The Portugal international has spent three seasons with the English club. However, a call from 'The Special One' had tempted him to leave the club.
After opening negotiations late last month, Roma quickly reached a contract agreement with the goalkeeper and his agent Jorge Mendes, who also represents Mourinho.
Not long after, the capital club started negotiations with Wolves, although, the two sides have yet to reach an agreement on a transfer fee.
However, Alessandro Austini from Il Tempo recently said that Roma decided to postpone their agreement with Patricio.
Reportedly, the Giallorossi are evaluating alternative, younger goalkeeper options before finalizing the acquisition of the 33-year-old.
Currently, Patricio is focusing on defending his country at Euro 2020. The goalkeeper and his teammates are trying to defend their European title.
