Mancini and Cristante’s agent: “They both only wanted Roma. Mancini told me ‘The only thing I want is to stay.'” Two pillars of Roma, on the pitch and especially in the locker room. Gianluca Mancini and Bryan Cristante have been key figures in the Giallorossi squad for years, and Giuseppe Riso, their agent, explained their bond with the club in an interview with Tuttosport . Mancini’s decision was particularly significant, as he had no hesitation when faced with the possibility of leaving the capital. “Mancini only told me one thing: ‘I want to stay here.’ Gianluca made a choice from the heart, and that’s not a given, especially when you’re faced with a significant financial offer. He prioritized what he felt was more important than what he could earn.” Equally important words came from Bryan Cristante, another veteran of the locker room and a key figure in the Giallorossi’s journey in recent years. Riso has no doubts about the midfielder’s importance in the capital: “Bryan is already part of Roma’s history. Overall, he’s a player who makes history for the clubs he plays for, both on the pitch and in the club environment, thanks to the man he is.”
