However, Italian media outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport is reporting that Roma are set to cancel their entire tour to East Asia, including an earlier game in South Korea as well as the match in Singapore, due to what the publication claims are missed payments from the organisers of the first part of their tour.


The decision is not yet official but the Italian outlet is reporting that Roma will instead return to Algarve for the same training camp they have visited in Mourinho's previous two seasons at the club during the time they would have been facing Tottenham.

AG suggested yesterday we’d still play the match vs a local XI, which helps precisely nobody. If Roma cancel, we should cancel the Singapore leg also & pay the fee to get out of it. We have a new manager & a season to contend with. Do the Aussie tour, go back to England & play another friendly vs a Wrexham or someone at the stadium. Friendlies mean little anyway but friendlies against local XI’s help nobody as you get nothing out of it.

Except for the people who may have paid for their tickets wanting to see Tottenham in the flesh? Be incredibly harsh on them when they can't see the team live all year round and then it gets cancelled because it's "meaningless" to you.
