AS Roma is fighting to keep goalkeeper Matteo Svilar as Juventus has opened talks with both the giallorossi and the player's entourage. The negotiation is at the forefront, with Roma's management determined not to lose the young talent.
Why does Juventus want Svilar?
Juventus has shown interest in Svilar after his solid performances in Serie A. The keeper has made several decisive saves, earning attention from top clubs. His international experience and ability to command the defense make him an attractive target for a team seeking stability between the posts.
What is AS Roma's league position?
| Position | Points |
|---|---|
| 3rd in Serie A | 73 |
The club sits 14 points behind leaders Inter, with a defense that has conceded 31 goals while scoring 59 (+28 goal difference). The recent 2‑0 win over Verona has cemented their winning form.
How does the situation affect the upcoming schedule?
On a five‑game winning streak (WWWWW) the giallorossi look ahead with confidence. Yet losing Svilar could weaken the back line, especially with upcoming clashes against Lazio and Napoli, traditional rivals in the title chase.
What can management do to block the transfer?
President Daniele Tinelli has said the priority is to maintain continuity between the posts. He may offer a contract extension or insert stricter sell‑on clauses. Meanwhile, Juventus appears ready to make an offer, but Roma's response remains uncertain.
Recent data: the last match (2026‑05‑24) saw AS Roma beat Hellas Verona 2‑0. The season’s top scorer is D. Malen, with 14 goals in 18 appearances.
Svilar's future is still shrouded in mystery, but the tug‑of‑war between Juventus and AS Roma promises to keep fans glued until the next official statement.
