Roma and Gianluca Mancini are set to stay together, at least for this transfer window.
As a key player for Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad, the number 23 will play a vital role as they gear up for their Champions League campaign, with an official announcement expected soon.

According to Niccolò Schira, the center-back is anticipated to sign a new contract within a few days, extending his stay by a minimum of two years.
The player, born in 1996, was previously slated to become a free agent in 2027, but with the new deal, he will remain with the club until 2029, with an option for 2030.
Under the terms of the new contract, Mancini will earn €3.5 million annually, meaning he will not see an increase in his salary compared to his former agreement.
This season, the defender from Pontedera has recorded five goals and two assists across 45 matches, with one particular performance elevating his profile significantly.

In the derby on May 17, the Roma defender was instrumental in securing a 2-0 victory, netting two goals and celebrating by bowing to the Curva, solidifying his bond with the fans.
Additionally, speculation regarding a potential move to Inter Milan in the event he did not renew his contract has been definitively dismissed.
