Hermoso nears contract renewal until 2029

Hermoso nears contract renewal until 2029 Roma are keen to secure Mario Hermoso, who has become a key figure in Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad. The Spanish defender, who has made an excellent start to the season, has begun discussions with sporting director Tony D’Amico through his agent to reach an agreement on a contract extension, which currently expires in June 2027. As reported by Il Corriere della Sera , Hermoso’s entourage began discussions with D’Amico a few weeks ago to reach an agreement until 2029, possibly spreading the current €3.5 million gross per season. Negotiations are still in the early stages, but are set to continue, especially given the player’s central role in the Giallorossi’s coaching project. Hermoso’s situation has changed radically since the summer of 2025, when the Spaniard seemed destined to leave the capital after a disappointing first season and a loan spell at Bayer Leverkusen. The defender, however, decided to stay, gradually earning Gasperini’s trust and becoming a key player in the squad. The numbers confirm his importance: in his first 14 appearances of the season out of 15 games played for Roma, Hermoso has logged 1,049 minutes, second only to Wesley, who has 1,069. This performance has convinced the club to work towards extending their relationship with the 1995-born defender.
