Early negotiations have begun between Roma, managed by the Friedkin group, and José Mourinho for a possible contract renewal. The discussions involve intermediaries working towards finding a suitable common ground.
The latest murmurs out of the Portuguese coach’s camp were reported by Italian newspaper ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’, who suggest the main sticking point centres around the contract’s length. According to the reports, Mourinho is asking for a two-year deal, while Roma prefers a one-year contract.
The revelations come after recent comments from Mourinho, pointing towards the start of negotiations. However, both parties are yet to confirm or comment on the ongoing talks.
