Jose Mourinho started his first training session with Roma on July 8, but he has already identified some players he wants to leave the club.
The Portuguese coach had his presentation before taking over training on Thursday, and it looks like he wants to make quick changes with Giallorossi.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Mourinho wants to sell eight Roma players who are not part of his plans: Pedro Rodriguez, Federico Fazio, Steven Nzonzi, Justin Kluivert, Javier Pastore, Davide Santon, Robin Olsen and Ante Coric.
Roma, recently posted their pre-season squad on social media and none of the aforementioned players appeared on the list.
Pedro only joined last summer but had difficulty playing last season, while former Sevilla duo Fazio and Nzonzi have not been the same since leaving LaLiga Santander.
The remaining five players have failed to meet their potential, including Patrick Kluivert’s son Justin.
Two players who have already been transferred are Spanish goalkeeper Pau Lopez and Turkish right-back Cengiz Under, who have been loaned out by Marseille with an option to buy.
Mourinho wants to lead Roma to the top of Serie A and is therefore looking to bring in players such as Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio.
