Roma Agree Extended Contract With Emanuele Lulli Until 2031
Roma says the deal is meant to lock down a young wing-back the coach values to raise the club’s bargaining power in future transfer talks.
Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on Friday that Roma and academy graduate Emanuele Lulli have agreed terms on a contract extension running to June 2031 with a formal signing expected after the club’s trip to Napoli.
- Media reports describe a staged salary that starts near €300,000 a year and can rise to about €1 million with bonuses over the length of the deal, details that have not yet been confirmed by the club.
- Lulli, born in 2007, has forced his way into the first-team rotation under manager Gian Piero Gasperini, sharing right-flank duties with Nahuel Molina and scoring his first Serie A goal against Genoa.
- Roma moved quickly because Lulli’s previous contract ran until June 2027 and there had been outside interest plus a summer near-loan to Avellino that was shelved when Gasperini kept him in the squad.
- Keeping Lulli follows a broader Roma strategy of extending young academy players to protect club assets and increase transfer leverage, a step that could shape Roma’s January plans and the player’s pathway to regular starts.
