Mourinho does not count on Gonzalo Villar, who has not played a single minute so far in Serie A, and has only played in four games between the qualifiers and the Conference League. Atletico want to take advantage of this.
According to several Italian media outlets, the Spanish club, who were already interested in the former Elche player in the summer, are looking to take advantage of the little prominence he is having under the Portuguese coach.
Roma acquired Villar's services for around four million euros, plus another in bonuses. Last season he was a key player, as was Borja Mayoral, but the arrival of Mourinho has been a punishment for him.
His future is not at Roma. Gonzalo Villar knows that he is currently a secondary role in the capital midfield, so an offer from Spain would make him decide to leave and return to LaLiga.
