Roma manager Jose Mourinho breaks silence on the transfer speculation involving Romelu Lukaku.

Mourinho, a former Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Chelsea coach, has worked with Lukaku at United.

The two are well acquainted and had an excellent relationship, with the Belgian now searching for a team before the transfer window closes.

Asked about transfers coming into Roma, Mourinho told reporters: "Not even [Sadar] Azmoun is one of our players yet, I also find it hard to talk about him. He is in Rome, I don't know if he has finished his visits or if he has signed.

"I don't see him as a Roma player, let alone [Romelu] Lukaku, who is a Chelsea player. In order not to get away from the question, I can say that there are clubs where players are chosen and those who arrive are first choices. Even in Italy, but above all in England, where you are free to define the player profile you want.

"We are in a different situation and what was proposed to me by the manager was Azmoun. He not as my striker, but as one of my strikers. If his condition is good he can help us .When the manager proposed to me he told me that another one will come and so he makes me happy. If this other is a quality striker we will have good options in attack. I'm calm and I'm waiting."
