Milan Svilar has been one of the strengths of Roma since taking over the starting job from Rui Patricio. He’s been due for a renewal as he’s still on his original contract, but he’s not too concerned about the situation. He spoke to Sky.
“I have two more years on my deal, but I think we’ll meet with the club soon. I feel great: I like the team, the people, and the entire environment. I’m convinced I’ll be here for a very long time. At least I hope so.”
Svilar has succeeded goalies who went on to have big-time careers like Wojciech Szczesny and Allisson between the Roma sticks.
“They were superb and will always be part of the history of football. I’m different, and all I can do is work hard to become stronger every day. Then we’ll see what happens. The ambition to achieve great things is there, obviously with these colors.”
Svilar hailed the impact of Claudio Ranieri on Roma.

We can look ahead now and know that, should we lose, we can bounce back in the next match. I believe we’re on the right path. The owners are closer to us. The group is very tight. We’re recapturing the confidence we had lost. We have to keep going because this is a very important city. This club and its fans deserve better results. Playing at home gives us an extra push, but we have to improve on the road, and I’m convinced we’ll do it.”
