Lucas Beltrán disclosed that upon signing with Fiorentina in 2023, there was also interest from Roma. He mentioned that Paulo Dybala, an important figure at Roma, reached out to him in an attempt to persuade him to join the club, indicating that Mourinho was keen on having him at Roma. Despite Dybala's attempts and a call from Roma's sporting director, Beltrán had already initiated discussions with Fiorentina and found their proposal more compelling, as they had taken the lead in negotiations. Beltrán, who shares a personal connection with Dybala from the time Dybala stayed with his family during his youth, eventually chose to sign with Fiorentina. At Fiorentina, he has become an essential player, effectively partnering with Moise Kean in their quest for European qualification.
