Roma Rejects Juventus Offer for Goalkeeper Mile Svilar
The refusal keeps Roma’s two-time Serie A best goalkeeper at the club and leaves Juventus still seeking a starter while constrained by club finances.
Overview
- Juventus opened enquiries for Mile Svilar after talks for Emiliano Martínez and Guglielmo Vicario stalled, but they have not signed a replacement goalkeeper.
- Italian reports say Juventus submitted an offer described as €42 million plus €8 million in bonuses, though those figures are reported and not independently confirmed.
- Roma pushed for a much higher valuation near €60 million and formally rejected the approach, with club sources saying they do not want to strengthen a direct Serie A and Champions League rival.
- Svilar is 26, under contract with Roma through 2030, and has been named Serie A’s Best Goalkeeper for the last two seasons, which explains Roma’s decision to retain him.
- Both clubs faced an end-of-June need to record capital gains to address financial fair-play requirements, a deadline that shaped the timing and structure of reported talks and could affect further moves this transfer window.
