CONFIRMED: AS Roma Goalkeeper Mile Svilar Signs Contract Extension Under New Head Coach
AS Roma have officially confirmed that Serbian goalkeeper Mile Svilar has signed a long-term contract extension with the club, solidifying his role as the team’s first-choice shot-stopper under new head coach Gian Piero Gasperini.
The 24-year-old has enjoyed a remarkable rise in Rome, finishing the 2024/25 Serie A season as one of the league’s top-performing goalkeepers—leading in clean sheets with 16 and playing a pivotal role in Roma’s push for European qualification.
The new deal, reportedly running until June 2029, sees Svilar earning a salary of approximately €3.5 million per year, with performance-based bonuses included. His decision to remain at Roma comes despite reported interest from top European clubs, including Bayern Munich and Atlético Madrid.
Svilar’s extension marks a strong show of faith from manager Gasperini, who has made clear his desire to build around a stable defensive core. With Roma entering a new era, the goalkeeper’s leadership, composure, and shot-stopping ability are seen as vital components of the club’s strategy moving forward.
Fans and pundits alike have praised Roma’s move to lock down one of the most promising young goalkeepers in Europe, viewing it as a key step in laying the foundations for long-term success under the new regime.
“I’m proud to continue this journey with Roma,” Svilar stated. “This club has believed in me, and now I want to repay that trust with performances and trophies.”
The Giallorossi faithful will be hoping Svilar’s commitment sets the tone for more positive developments in the transfer window—and a successful campaign under Gasperini’s guidance.
