The breakout performances of Niccolò Pisilli should soon turn into a contract extension since he’s not tied to Roma long-term. His current deal runs out in 2026, and he’s one of the lowest-paid players in their squad.
According to TuttoSport, the discussions concerning a three-year extension, therefore until 2029, are underway. Director Florent Ghisolfi is steering the ship on the sporting side while the owners look for a new CEO. He’s in touch with agents Giorgio Ghirardi and Miriam Peruzzi.
There shouldn’t be particular problems in the negotiation between Pisilli and Roma. The talent earns €800K and could double his wages once he puts pen to paper. He is coming off his maiden Serie A goal and made the provisional Italy squad for the next Nations League games.
According to Il Messaggero, the midfielder was bound to join Austrian side LASK Linz on loan last summer. However, Daniele De Rossi halted the move. The opportunity to transfer was there even after their final additions in the midfield, but the coach dug his heels in.
Ghisolfi addressed the matter in an interview with Corriere dello Sport (via SOSFanta).
“We had some meetings with his agent, and we’re looking for a solution as soon as possible, but he’s already under contract. It’s fair to repay his good work, but it’s important for him to continue playing at a high level.”
Our Take on Roma and Pisilli
The extension is a no-brainer are the sums are still low relatively speaking, and he’s been a breath of fresh air in a position where they are rather aging.
