After lengthy negotiations and reaching an agreement, the Serbian player`s signature is now official. He commented: “I thank all the Roma fans for their support.”
The news is now official: Mile Svilar has signed a contract extension with Roma until 2030. This outcome was desired by both the club and the player. After protracted negotiations that included moments of tension, an agreement has finally been reached. Assuming no unforeseen circumstances, Svilar is set to be Roma`s goalkeeper for the club`s centenary in 2027. More significantly, this deal makes him the highest-paid goalkeeper in Roma`s history. This is well-deserved recognition, especially considering he was named the best goalkeeper in Serie A last season.
The Official Announcement
The official announcement arrived shortly after 2 PM, accompanied by a photo of Svilar with club officials and holding a jersey displaying `2030`. The concise statement highlighted his impressive record of 16 clean sheets last season and the 11 clean sheets kept by Roma in 2025, a leading figure among Europe`s top five leagues. The club congratulated Svilar, calling him one of Roma`s current core players. The goalkeeper quickly shared his delight: “I am proud and extremely happy to have signed my new contract. I thank all the Roma fans for their support. See you at the stadium soon, and always Forza Roma.” Previously, negotiations had reportedly faced difficulties under former Sporting Director Florent Ghisolfi due to a lack of smooth communication with the player`s camp. However, intervention by coach Daniele De Rossi helped resolve the situation, culminating in the agreement for a contract worth 4 million euros per year (including bonuses), which was the player`s desired salary. This represents a significant increase from his previous earnings of 800,000 euros plus bonuses.
Contract Details
With this new agreement, Svilar is now the third highest-paid player in the current Roma squad, trailing only Dybala (8 million plus bonuses) and captain Pellegrini (6 million). Crucially, the contract makes him the highest-earning goalkeeper in Roma`s history, surpassing previous record holders such as Szczesny (3 million), Pau Lopez (2.8 million), Doni (2.5 million), Rui Patricio (2 million), Antonioli (1.8 million), Alisson, and De Sanctis (both 1.5 million). This highlights the significant faith Roma has shown in their goalkeeper, especially as several prestigious European clubs, including Chelsea and Bayern Munich, reportedly expressed interest in him this summer. However, Mile consistently prioritized staying at Roma, making this renewal his desired outcome. At 25, Rome remains his home, with his future beyond this contract yet to be decided.
