Manchester United and Chelsea to rival for Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar - reports
Roma are grappling with a critical decision over goalkeeper Mile Svilar’s future as contract talks falter.
According to Tuttomercato, Manchester United have joined Bayern Munich, Chelsea, and Manchester City in pursuing the 25-year-old Belgian, whose current deal, earning him €1 million annually, runs until 2027.
Svilar’s camp is demanding €4 million per year, including bonuses, to align with Roma’s top earners. Negotiations, focusing on salary and contract length without mention of a release clause, remain distant from resolution.
Roma value Svilar’s emergence as a fan favorite but face financial considerations. Signed for free, Svilar could command a significant transfer fee if sold, especially with elite clubs like United circling, making his retention a strategic challenge for Claudio Ranieri’s project.
