Hermoso Nears New Roma Deal
Reports indicate that Mario Hermoso is in the final stages of talks to prolong his association with Roma for a period of up to three additional years, given his status as a free agent upon the conclusion of the current campaign.
The 31-year-old joined the club on a free basis during the summer of 2024, yet following a challenging opening season, he was loaned out to Bayer Leverkusen.
Since his return to the Stadio Olimpico, he has established himself as a defensive stalwart, netting three times across 14 appearances in both Serie A and the Champions League.

Although the Spaniardβs existing agreement expires in June 2026, Sky Sport Italia journalist Angelo Mangiante expresses strong belief that extension discussions are actively progressing.
The proposed deal is anticipated to span two years, potentially including a third-year option, with the possibility of signing occurring as soon as next month.
