Mancini ‘frustrated’ with prolonged wait for new contract

Mancini ‘frustrated’ with prolonged wait for new contract Gianluca Mancini is waiting to extend his contract with Roma, which expires on June 30, 2027. The Giallorossi defender is one of the leaders of Gasperini’s team. The Roma number 23 has scored key goals this season, most notably a brace in the derby against Lazio. The 1996-born player spoke to Sky about his contract extension a few weeks ago: “Negotiations are ongoing, I’m waiting. The people involved, my agent, myself, and the club are there: we’re talking and we’ll continue to do so. I’m waiting for answers and we’ll see what happens.” As Corriere dello Sport reports, the Giallorossi defender expected a different timeline, given that his agent, Riso, had already considered a contract extension deal a done deal in January. Roma, however, had other priorities, and so the situation stalled. Inter, which is closely monitoring the situation, has once again inquired about Mancini, although Gasperini has ruled out a possible transfer to the Nerazzurri: “He’s not leaving, so Inter can do whatever they want.” The former Atalanta player has been offered a three-year contract extension worth €3 million plus bonuses per season. He is now eagerly awaiting updates.
