Roma, on the other hand, unveiled their biggest signing of the summer, Paulo Dybala from Juventus, a few days ago. The Argentine playmaker was given a rip-roaring reception from the Giallorossi faithful during the presentation ceremony. Mourinho’s men began their pre-season with two successive wins against Sunderland (2-0) and Portimonense (2-0) before losing to Sporting Lisbon (3-2), and then shared the spoils against Nice.
