Roma are working on a new contract with Mario Hermoso , whose contract expires in June 2027. The Spaniard, who also played a key role against Sassuolo with the game-winning goal, has become a key figure for Gasperini , who would like to keep him in the capital . According to La Repubblica , negotiations for a contract extension are already well underway.
The coach had focused on Hermoso since his arrival at Trigoria , finding in the Spaniard a defender capable of playing multiple roles. A central defender in a three-man defense, but also a full-back and an additional man in attack, the 1995-born player adapted to the coach's demands, becoming a constant presence in the Giallorossi lineup.
Hermoso, three goals this season and only one match missed
The numbers confirm the Spaniard's influence in Gasperini 's Roma . Between the league and the Champions League , Hermoso has only missed the match against Cagliari , also finding the net three times against Atalanta, Slovan Bratislava, and Sassuolo . The last came with a run into the box and a left-footed shot that left Muric with no chance.
His performance on the pitch is matched by his role in the locker room, where Hermoso is considered one of the core elements of the team . Gasperini appreciates his attitude and would like to continue working with him beyond the natural expiration of his contract. Discussions regarding a renewal have therefore begun, with the aim of reaching an agreement to continue together.
