Roma consider offering new 8-year contract to Svilar | OneFootball

Mile Svilar remains one of the few key players that Roma have made it their priority to keep ahead of next season.

According to Il Messaggero, during the last meeting between former sporting director Florent Ghisolfi and the Serbian goalkeeper, a long-term contract renewal was discussed.

The idea, initially proposed by the player’s agents, includes an extension of up to eight years, taking advantage of the recent decree approved by the Council of Ministers on June 20, which allows for longer agreements than the previous five-year limit established by the sports reform.

What initially seemed like a provocative proposal is now being seriously considered by the capital club.

A concrete sign of the club’s confidence also came through a recent phone call from newly appointed sporting director Frederic Massara, who confirmed to the player Roma’s desire to focus on him for the future.
