Roma midfielder Bryan Cristante is reportedly climbing the ranks of Mourinho’s career favorites.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Cristante is one of the only players Mourinho considers to be untouchable within this current Roma squad given his adaptability and willingness to take on any role the technician might need him for.

Cristante is also the only player to have featured in all 15 Europa League games this season, from the first away trip in Razgrad to the final in Budapest.

One of the reasons Mourinho is hesitant to depart the capital club is having players like Cristante around.
