The Belgian arrived on a free transfer and is now worth between 35 and 40 million. Sommer had more interventions, but when it comes to salary, the Swiss stand unchallenged.

2024 was a tumultuous year for Roma, characterized by few highlights and many low points. The Belgian goalkeeper has seized the startership with outstanding performances, becoming a crucial pillar of the team. Ever since De Rossi entrusted him, no subsequent coach has wanted to do without the class of ’99 star. Yesterday, against Milan, Svilar put on yet another stellar performance, culminating in the award for MVP of the match. His saves were decisive, particularly those against Bennacer and Chukwueze, which allowed Roma to emerge unscathed from a fiercely contested duel up until the very last second. The numbers affirm his growing impact: a staggering 54 saves this season, superior to his peers Sommer, Di Gregorio, and Carnesecchi, who find themselves in different areas of the league table and are backed by more robust defenses. Furthermore, the data on expected goals (28.5 expected goals conceded) highlights how pivotal his contribution has been, with Roma conceding only 24 actual goals, largely due to his interventions. However, a delicate issue remains: the renewal. Mile has a contract until 2027 with a salary of just 1 million per season (the same as Dahl’s and lower than that of Saud and Shomurodov, to give you an idea).

Translation:

Yet, a sensitive topic lingers: the renewal. Mile has a contract through 2027 on a salary of merely 1 million per season (equivalent to Dahl’s and below that of Saud and Shomurodov, for context). At Trigoria, at the moment, all is quiet but, if Roma wants to continue to enhance this treasure between the posts, it will require not only a solid project for the coming years, but also a financial push to keep it. Already this summer, interest from major clubs is expected, and, arriving on a free transfer, Svilar has reached a vastly superior value compared to 2022, when Tiago Pinto chose to bring him to Roma. The number 99, decked in yellow and red, has proven to be the man who, in moments of difficulty, has kept the team afloat. Now it’s up to the club not to let him slip away. Valentino Poggio
