AS Roma Secures Goalkeeper Mile Svilar with Contract Extension Until 2030
July 12, 2025 – AS Roma has officially confirmed a significant move by extending the contract of their standout goalkeeper, Mile Svilar, until June 2030. The announcement, made public on July 11, underscores the club’s commitment to building a stable future around one of Serie A’s top talents. The 25-year-old Belgian, who joined Roma on a free transfer from Benfica in 2022, has emerged as a cornerstone of the team’s defense, earning the 2024-25 Serie A Best Goalkeeper award after recording 16 clean sheets in 38 league appearances.Svilar’s impressive performance, marked by a save percentage placing him in the top 5% of Europe’s top leagues according to Opta data, has drawn interest from clubs like Galatasaray, which reportedly offered €6 million annually.

However, Roma’s decision to lock him in with a lucrative deal—reportedly around €3.5 million per year plus bonuses—reflects their determination to retain a key asset. This extension comes as Roma leads Europe’s top five leagues with 11 clean sheets in 2025, per UEFA statistics, highlighting the club’s defensive resurgence. Svilar’s loyalty and Roma’s strategic foresight signal a promising era for the Giallorossi as they aim to climb the Serie A standings.
