• Jose Mourinho will do everything to bolster his squad ahead of next season, and some potential signings are being monitored

• The latest on the radar of the Italian club is Sasa Lukic who has been impressive in the Torino midfield in recent times

Jose Mourinho is interested in Sasa Lukic from Torino ahead of the coming season as the Portuguese tactician is desperate in bolstering his AS Roma squad.

This is coming barely a year after the inspirational midfielder ignored interest from Premier League sides Tottenham and Leeds United.

Roma are closely monitoring the 25-year-old Serbian international after they welcomed the arrival of former Manchester United star Nemanja Matic, according to La Stampa.

It was gathered that the Italian side are also hopeful of an improved squad for next season as rivals Juventus are also offering Arthur in exchange for Nicolo Zaniolo.

After a year, the ‘Special One’ is back on the trail of Lukic who has impressed in recent times as he has been branded ‘sensational talent’.

Mourinho believes the former Partizan Belgrade superstar will add a lot of quality to the Roma midfield that could be lost this summer should Zaniolo leave the Stadio Olimpico.
