It is still unclear where Rick Karsdorp’s future lies. According to the latest reports, AS Roma expects the right wing defender to come to training on Monday.
The story of Karsdorp is now known. The Dutchman got into trouble with trainer José Mourinho, who called him a traitor. Karsdorp fell out of favor and missed the practice trip to Japan. Despite a doctor’s note, Roma decided to fine him, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. Allegedly also because Karsdorp did not stay in the Netherlands during the trip, but celebrated a holiday abroad.
Roma will resume training in Trigoria on Monday and, according to Il Tempo, Karsdorp is also expected. However, the question is whether the former Feyenoord player will actually show up. It is expected that Karsdorp will not accept the invitation and will miss the training. Meanwhile, Roma has put the player in the window. The club would demand ten million euros for Karsdorp, but that is still too much for Juventus, among others.
Roma will leave on Thursday for a training camp to the Algarve, where, among other things, an exhibition game with RKC Waalwijk is scheduled. It is still unclear whether Karsdorp will board the plane.
It was earlier reported that AS Roma punished Rick Karsdorp for missing the trip to Japan. According to La Gazetta dello Sport, Roma has fined the Dutch right back. The Italian club apparently did not care about Karsdorp’s doctor’s statement, who was unable to come along due to psychological problems. Allegedly also because Karsdorp did not stay in the Netherlands during the trip, but celebrated a holiday abroad.
Karsdorp did not consider himself capable due to the disturbed relationship with trainer José Mourinho, who had dismissed the Dutchman as a traitor and thus questioned a Roman future for the right back.
