The curious case of Roma: three imminent renewals despite the end of the contract and one exit

On the day that several contracts in Serie A end, Roma appears as one of the teams with the most sensitive dossiers on the table. Among the players at the end of their contract there are big names — including a former captain — and three renewal processes very close to being completed, in addition to an exit already planned.

Dybala, agreement in sight after weeks of advances and setbacks The most famous case is that of Paulo Dybala. After a long struggle over the reconfiguration of the agreement, Roma and the Argentine international appear to have reached a decisive understanding in the last few hours. The signature and official announcement are expected soon — possibly even after the formal end of the contract —, within hours or, at the limit, days.

Çelik follows… and then Pellegrini Zeki Çelik also has his future in mind. The Turkish full-back, who over the last few months has been associated with clubs such as Real Madrid and Juventus, is expected to sign a new contract with Roma until 2029, in an agreement worth around 3 million euros net per season — a figure close to what Dybala should also earn. As for Lorenzo Pellegrini, there has not yet been “white smoke”, but the optimism of all parties indicates that the final understanding is close and that the negotiation will not collapse at this stage.

El Shaarawy prepares to leave for the second time The exception in this pack is Stephan El Shaarawy. The winger is destined to leave the Giallorossi as a free player, in what will be his second departure from the Roman club at the end of his contract.
