Nicola Zalewski Remains Frozen Out of Roma Squad Due to Tactics and Transfer Uncertainty
AS Roma winger Nicola Zalewski continues to find himself sidelined under head coach José Mourinho, with recent reports indicating that the 22-year-old’s exclusion from the matchday squad is due to a combination of tactical considerations and growing uncertainty surrounding his future at the club.
Zalewski, once considered one of Roma’s promising young talents, has been notably absent from the starting XI and matchday rosters in recent weeks. Mourinho’s tactical setup has shifted, with the Portuguese coach opting for different formations and personnel, leaving the Polish international on the outside looking in.
Sources close to the club suggest that the lack of opportunities for Zalewski may also be linked to internal transfer discussions. With several clubs reportedly interested in the versatile forward, there is speculation that Roma may look to offload him in the January transfer window, as the club seeks to balance their books and adjust the squad in line with tactical changes.
The situation surrounding Zalewski mirrors a broader trend at Roma, where key players have seen their roles diminish or change as Mourinho looks to refine his approach. While the Polish winger has shown flashes of his potential in past seasons, his inability to secure consistent minutes this season is seen as a potential signal that his future at the club could be in doubt.
As the January transfer window draws closer, Zalewski’s next steps remain uncertain. Both Roma and the player are expected to engage in discussions about potential exits or loan moves, with several Serie A sides rumored to be keeping an eye on his situation. For now, Zalewski remains frozen out, with Roma continuing their pursuit of further tactical and squad adjustments under Mourinho.
