As much fun as it is to dream about the acquisitions Roma will make to strengthen Gian Piero Gasperini\u2019s squad ahead of the Giallorossi\u2019s first Champions League appearance in nearly a decade, the sobering fact remains: Roma must sell first. Before Tony D\u2019Amico can bring in shiny new toys for GPG in July\u2014as we\u2019ve seen too many times before\u2014Roma must make sacrifices to the UEFA FFP gods. This year, the Giallorossi must generate a reported \u20ac50-\u20ac60 million in plusvalenza before June 30th.<\/p>\n
Not many players on Roma\u2019s roster can bring in that amount on their own, but one who likely could is two-time reigning Serie A Goalkeeper of the Year Mile Svilar. And a sale of Svilar would be strictly profit on the books, since he was brought in on a free transfer by Tiago Pinto in the summer of 2022.<\/p>\n
In his four years in the capital, Svilar has gone from a relatively unknown, cost-effective understudy to Rui Patricio to the league\u2019s top goalkeeper (and arguably one of the best in Europe). Since taking over the starting job in early 2024, Svilar has kept 50 clean sheets in 130 appearances. His timely, often spectacular saves have earned the Giallorossi crucial points throughout the season, including a couple of huge saves on the last match day in Verona that kept the Giallorossi all square before the attack could breach the Verona goal.<\/p>\n
