“Roma Eyes Contract Renewal for Svilar Amid Transition and Stability Efforts”
Roma has resumed discussions regarding contracts after a tumultuous summer, with Mile Svilar being a key focus. Since taking over from Rui Patricio, the goalkeeper has yet to receive an appropriate reward for his contributions.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, negotiations are progressing well and could conclude soon. Svilar is one of the few players from whom the Giallorossi could realize a profit, but they prefer to retain him for the long term and aim to avoid any unexpected moves. They envision him as their starting goalkeeper when they move into their new stadium.
Svilar’s current contract with Roma runs until 2027, with a salary of €900,000. The club plans to offer him a two-year extension and double his pay. Director Florent Ghisolfi recently discussed this topic, stating, “His deal will be revisited because he deserves it. His performances have been at a high level.”
Svilar expressed his happiness to LaRoma24 during the pre-season, saying, “I’m very happy and can’t even explain how much. It has always been my dream to play many matches and be the starter for a team like this one. There won’t be issues with the renewal. I’m grateful to the team.”
- Analysis of Roma and Svilar:
This contract situation should have been addressed sooner. However, summer transfer market activities often overshadow extension talks, and the club has faced significant instability due to coaching changes and the departure of their CEO. Their recent transfer activity indicates that they no longer need to sell off talent to finance new acquisitions.
