The Giallorossi open their season today against Atalanta, follow all the action as it happens on the LIVEBLOG.
“It’s a pleasure for me to work with Francesco Totti and he is fundamental for my work,” the Spanish director told Mediaset Premium.
Naturally, he was asked about transfer speculation around Roma, such as Leicester City forward Mahrez and Sampdoria hitman Patrik Schick.
“I think we’ve already talked about it too much. This is an important day and we ought to talk about the players who are already here. The market remains open for a few more days and we are working to find players who can improve the squad, but so are many other teams.
“I spend all day with the players and can see they have faith in the Coach and the system they are adopting.
“Manolas for sale? No, we are working to sign players, not sell them. It would be great to close the window before competitive games begin and we should all work together to make it happen.”
Finally, Monchi was asked about interest in Juventus winger Cuadrado.
“Everyone likes good players.”
