"Regarding the imaginary striker, I can tell you that even if (Kylian) Mbappe arrives next week, it would still be late." But to say that I am in open war with the club... is very wrong," Mourinho said. Roma were one of eight clubs that reached settlements with UEFA last season after failing to comply with break-even requirements the previous campaign. Roma have had a quiet transfer window as a result, signing free agents Evan N'Dicka and Houssem Aouar and bringing in Rasmus Kristensen on loan from Leeds United. He is of the highest level... and we can't do without him," Mourinho said.
