Rome, renewals: from Zaniolo to Mkhitaryan, Cristante and Smalling

He had put everything on stand-by, Roma, because there was Europe, this year and next season, to be conquered. Now that the two objectives have been achieved, Tiago Pinto and the Friedkins can also dedicate themselves to contract renewals. Some situations, in fact, have already been closed, others have yet to be opened, and still others are in the making. If, for example, the vice captain Gianluca Mancini will soon formalize the new agreement with a salary of 3 million per season, in the next few days, near Trigoria, Claudio Vigorelli, Nicolò Zaniolo’s agent, could and should see himself. The negotiation has yet to begin, the boy has Roma as a priority, but the story is known: he asks for a salary of 4 million plus bonuses and is sought in Italy and Europe, the club has not satisfied him for now and everything, really. anything could happen.

FROM MICKI TO SMALLING

–

In the next few hours, Roma awaits a definitive answer from Mkhitaryan, who is ever closer to Inter, who offers him a two-year deal worth 3 million plus bonuses, while also waiting to speak with Beppe Riso, Bryan Cristante’s agent. Milan and Sevilla like the midfielder, but Mou considers him invaluable for his game and he doesn’t have all this desire to leave Rome. That’s why, market permitting, he too will speak with the club about the renewal, given that the current contract expires in 2024. The idea is that of a “Mancini-style” salary, but the negotiations have not yet come to fruition. The situation is different as regards Smalling: the Englishman, this season, was one of the best (the best ever in the final against Feyenoord) and solved all his physical problems. He is not a kid, he is 32 years old and in November he will turn 33, and the contract expires in a year. The idea is to bring it, at least, until 2024 with a slightly reduced salary spread over two annuities. The possibility of an agreement is there and it is concrete. Finally, in the coming weeks, Pinto will also meet Davide Lippi, Spinazzola’s agent: Leonardo has a contract until 2024, talking about an extension is not an urgency, also because he earns about 3 million a year, but Rome still wants to understand, and the boy wants to do the same, if there are margins, at least, to get to 2025. Also on this front, in Trigoria, it will be a hot summer. Finally, no renewal for Veretout, the number one suspect to be sold before retirement.
