Imagine this: Serbian goalkeeper Mile Svilar, just 25 years old, has finally put an end to all the rumors and signed a brutal five-year contract with Italian club Roma! Yes, you read that right — five whole years! New coach Gian Piero Gasperini wasn’t joking when he said he counts on Svilar’s goal for the long haul. And what about Galatasaray? They really wanted him and offered great terms, but Mile decided to stay in Rome and earn about 4 million euros a year, which means he’ll pocket around 20 million euros by the end of the deal!
Svilar isn’t just any goalkeeper. Before joining Roma, he played for Anderlecht and Benfica, and went through all the youth teams of Belgium. Although he has only played one match for Serbia’s senior national team, due to disagreements with coach Dragan Stojković, he hasn’t been a regular. He even considered switching back to Belgium, but that wasn’t possible. Now everyone’s waiting to see if he’ll return to the Serbian Eagles.
Roma’s move is a clear message — they want stability and quality in goal, and Svilar is ready to deliver. Five years at one club for a goalkeeper his age is a rarity in today’s football world, where transfers happen faster than you can say “goal.”
Is this the start of a new era for Mile Svilar? Will he finally get the chance to show his true potential and shine on the big stage? Or will disagreements with the coach continue to haunt him? One thing’s for sure — Roma is now his home, and he’s ready to guard the net like never before.
If you thought football was just a game, think again. It’s business, big business. Svilar just signed a contract worth 20 million euros, at a time when many players can’t even get a tenth of that. What about you? Would you stay at a club that wants you, or chase better offers? Share your thoughts — maybe Mile has something to learn from you!
