ROME — AS Roma has intensified negotiations to secure the long-term futures of key stars Gianluca Mancini and Paulo Dybala. As the club prepares for a new chapter under incoming Sporting Director Tony D’Amico, finalizing these extensions has become the primary objective for the Giallorossi’s management.
Mancini Set for Improved Terms
AS Roma has reportedly tabled an improved contract proposal for defender Gianluca Mancini. The club is moving quickly to tie down the 30 year old, whose current deal is set to expire in June 2027. Despite persistent transfer speculation linking him to other Serie A heavyweights, the Italian international has reiterated his commitment to remaining in the capital.
The improved offer is designed to reward Mancini's leadership and consistency, aligning his compensation with his status as one of the club's defensive pillars. Sources close to the club suggest that an agreement is nearing completion, with the final details expected to be ratified once Tony D’Amico assumes his full responsibilities at Trigoria on July 1st.
Dybala Prioritizes Continuity
Simultaneously, the club is in advanced talks with Paulo Dybala regarding a new deal. The Argentine forward has reportedly shown a willingness to adjust his contractual terms to facilitate his stay at the Stadio Olimpico. Under the proposed structure, Dybala would extend his tenure while accepting a revised salary package that includes performance-linked bonuses—a strategic move by the club to manage the risks associated with his fitness record.
Strategic Management Transition
The operations regarding these renewals are currently being overseen by Maurizio Lombardo, Roma’s Chief Football Operating Officer, who is managing the club’s affairs during this transitional period. The appointment of Tony D’Amico who brings a wealth of experience from his time at Atalanta marks a significant shift in Roma’s sporting project. His arrival is viewed as the catalyst that will stabilize the squad and set the strategic direction for the remainder of the summer transfer window.
For the Giallorossi faithful, the successful retention of these two foundational players is seen as a vital step in maintaining squad stability as they aim to compete at the top of the Serie A table next season.
