Mario Hermoso edges closer to a Roma renewal until 2029
He would accept a lower salary to sign until 2029 with an option to 2030. He has 3 goals this season and 120 entries into the opposition box in 13 starts.
The renewal of Mario Hermoso with AS Roma is nearly done. According to Corriere dello Sport, both sides are very close to an agreement: the defender would sign until 2029 with an option for 2030, accepting a net pay cut as Mancini, Cristante, Dybala and Pellegrini did before him.
His current deal was extended by a season after Roma qualified for the Champions League, on the same wages and through a club option, but it expires on 30 June. That is why the figures and length had to be renegotiated from the start of the league season. Hermoso is central to Gasperini's plans, although the coach had not counted on him until a meeting in July 2025 in which the Spaniard asked for trust and promised not to let him down.
The numbers back it up: 3 goals this season, the latest on Saturday against Sassuolo, and 7 since working under Gasperini. Only van Dijk and Querfeld, with 8 each, have scored more among European defenders in that period. Gasperini praised him: he has huge quality, and his composure in front of goal is that of a number nine.
