Mario Hermoso is reportedly in advanced negotiations to extend his contract with Roma for up to another three years, as he would be a free agent at the end of this season.
The 31-year-old arrived on a free transfer in the summer of 2024, but after a difficult first season was sent out on loan to Bayer Leverkusen.
He has been a rock in the defence since returning to the Stadio Olimpico, also scoring three goals in 14 games between Serie A and the Champions League.
Hermoso to stay on at Roma
The Spaniard’s current contract only runs to June 2026, but Sky Sport Italia reporter Angelo Mangiante is confident negotiations are in full swing for an extension.
It is expected to be for two years, with an option for a third added in, and could be signed as early as next month.
A product of the Real Madrid youth academy, Hermoso went on to make his name at Real Valladollid, Espanyol and above all Atletico Madrid, where he remained for five years.
