Roma Secures Key Contracts Ahead of New Season

The club’s new sporting director, Tony D’Amico, is already steering a flurry of contract talks that match the ambitions of head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. Both men see the existing stalwarts as essential “senators” who will provide the backbone for next year’s squad. The focus is on three vital figures whose futures have been the center of intense negotiation.

Zeki Celik Heads Toward Permanent Deal

Among the most advanced negotiations is that involving Zeki Celik. Roma have reportedly reached a full agreement on the defender’s renewal, leaving only bureaucratic steps to be finalised. Those final paperwork details are expected to be completed within the next few hours at Trigoria. The successful completion of this deal would lock in one of the backline’s building blocks for the foreseeable future.

Paulo Dybala is closing in on a fresh contract as well. The Argentine attacker and the club are ironing out the last formalities, and insiders suggest only a ceremonial signing remains. With Dybala’s contract situation settled, the attacking front will have one less variable to monitor. The strike partnership will therefore be able to develop deeper chemistry without the cloud of contract uncertainty hanging over him.

Lorenzo Pellegrini Agrees to Extension Until 2029

Lorenzo Pellegrini, the former captain who has been a linchpin in midfield, is now on the cusp of a contract extension that runs through 2029. According to Tuttosport, the new terms include a base salary of €2.5 million, supplemented by performance‑based bonuses. The agreement signals a clear intention to retain the Italian internationally as a long‑term anchor for Roma’s engine room.

Securing these three players underscores a strategic push for stability under Gasperini’s leadership. By locking in the “seniors” of the squad, the club hopes to build a cohesive unit capable of challenging for silverware. The rapid progress in the talks also reflects the new sporting director’s ability to convert ambition into concrete contracts, setting a solid foundation for the next campaign.
