Renewal? Rome released photos of the chairman shaking hands with Sveral, and it was suspected that he would have a secret conversation for an hour after training

May 12th Roma President Dan Friedkin came to the club's training base last week to visit the team and shake hands with goalkeeper Svilal.

Friedkin is an Italian-American, who has lived in the United States and rarely comes to Rome this season. However, last week Friedkin came to the Trigoria training base in Rome to meet the team. Roma's official website released two photos of the chairman, one of which is a photo of Friedkin talking with coach Ranieri and sports director Jisolfi while smiling, and the other is a photo of Friedkin shaking hands with Sveral.

The Courier said that the photo of the handshake between the Roman president and Svilal looked like the two sides reached a contract renewal agreement. It is worth mentioning that after the team's training ended, Sveral stayed in the training base for more than an hour before leaving. The media waiting outside the goal asked him if he was discussing a contract renewal with Chairman Friedkin. Sveral said: "Don't always ask me the same question."

Sveral is Rome's main goalkeeper, but his current annual salary after tax is only 800,000 euros. Previously, Sveral and Rome had begun negotiations for renewal. Sveral demanded an annual salary of 4 million euros and wanted to include a termination clause in the contract. Rome is currently optimistic about the contract renewal negotiations. Rome is willing to meet Svilal's salary requirements, but still needs to further negotiate on terms such as broker commissions and termination amounts.

Among all the goalkeepers who have made at least 20 appearances in the five major European leagues this season, Sveral's save success rate reached 77.5%, ranking first. This season, Svilal has maintained 15 goals in the Serie A. If he keeps clean sheets in the last three rounds of the league, he can break the record of Roma's 17 games in the Serie A set by Allison in the 2017-18 season.
