Behind the silence moved a shared decision, matured step by step. Now all that is missing is the right time to tell everyone

It took him very little, in fact very little, to change judgments. From second goalkeeper to starter last year, from under-examined youngster to cover man this year. Mile Svilar’s season has been a steady crescendo of decisive saves, mind-boggling numbers and a leadership that is now there for all to see.
At the beginning of the year someone was still questioning him. Today he is the goalkeeper with the best save percentage in the entire Serie A: 77.6 percent, better even than Milinkovic-Savic, who until March was the reference between the posts. And the data does not end there: 15 clean sheets, only 32 goals conceded in 35 games, compared to almost 40 expected goals conceded. A number that testifies unequivocally to how much Svilar has affected the team’s performance.
Until last summer, many still saw him as a bet. Today, he is one of the best goalkeepers in the league, a staple at Roma and a special guard in the European market. His growth has been steady, building parry after parry, even on the most complicated nights. And while the numbers speak for him, clubs are beginning to come knocking.
Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Chelsea: there is no shortage of foreign sirens. But Roma, this time, played ahead. And the work behind the scenes has paid off.
Accordo raggiunto: il rinnovo di Svilar è cosa (quasi) fatta
According to information gathered by our editorial staff, the agreement between Svilar and Roma has been reached. Only the signature is missing, which will come at the end of the season, but the pact between the parties is already defined. The goalkeeper has chosen to stay in Trigoria, convinced by the trust received and the technical project.

The new contract will include a much increased salary compared to the current one (1.2 million net): it will go toward 3.5 million per season plus bonuses. A figure that reflects not only performance, but also Svilar’s new role in the locker room and in the club’s future vision.
The only detail still being worked out is the rescission clause. Roma would like to set it at 70 million, while the goalkeeper’s entourage is aiming for a lower threshold, around 35-40 million. But the distances are narrowing: with the deal done, it would of course be activated only from the 2026/27 season, thus leaving full control to the club for another year.
A way to protect himself, yes, but also to keep a window on the future alive, should an outsized proposal come from a top European club.
However, there is one firm point that the club has already reiterated internally: Svilar will not be sold to Serie A. AC Milan and Napoli, who had inquired in recent weeks, have been informed of the red line drawn by Trigoria.
But today, the plan is clear: Svilar stays. Roma has armored him, and he has responded with gratitude and maturity. The signing will come when the championship is over. But the announcement, after all, is already written between the posts at the Olimpico.
