Roma new signing Soulé gave an interview to Roma Sport today, where he talked about his experience before and after joining the club. He stated that Mourinho wanted him to stay, but Juventus didn’t agree.
About the decision to join
I wanted to come here so badly, that when I thought about the possibility of not being able to come, I almost cried. I will prove that I am worth every penny invested in me. It was a long negotiation, and I was worried that it would collapse. Friedkin really wanted me. Leicester City also wanted me, the sporting director and the coach called me several times. Then I felt the love from Roma, and from that moment I decided to only consider Roma.
About De Rossi
I admire him a lot. He has done a great job, he is an exceptional coach. I spoke to him several times during the negotiations, and I must admit that he not only speaks Spanish but also with a strong Argentinian accent. He told me about Roma, about the football here.
About Dybala
He’s like a brother to me, we built a great relationship during my time at Juventus. There was an incident, it was in the last game of his last season at Juventus. There were 15 minutes left of the game, Dybala was pointing at me and talking to Landucci. Unfortunately, the substitutions were exhausted, he was trying to get me on the pitch because he wanted to play at least one game with me before leaving Juventus. 3 years later, we are playing together again.
About Juventus
I fought hard to perform well at Frosinone, just to earn my place at Juventus. In January I found out they wanted to send me to Saudi Arabia. I didn’t want to go there, it was a big disappointment for me. Mourinho is a good person, he has always been close to me, supporting me, giving me a lot of advice, he also joked with me: “He won’t let me go for less than 70 million euros”. Mourinho wanted me to stay, but Juventus had already made the decision, they needed to sell me to raise funds.
About Le Fey and Dovbyk
I don’t know Le Fey, but he is very strong. He can play in all positions in midfield, it’s great to be teammates with him. Dovbyk, tall, strong, talented. He will be a great signing. Under Pellegrini’s leadership, we are a great team.
