Roma confirm Emanuele Lulli contract extension until 2031

Roma have extended the contract of goalkeeper Giorgio De Marzi until 2031, according to Filippo Biafora. The deal replaces a contract that was due to expire in June 2027. The 20-year-old, who is currently third in the pecking order behind Gian Piero Gasperini's first-team keepers, will now continue his development in giallorosso. The renewal follows an agreement reached with Emanuele Lulli, who is also set to commit to the club until 2031. It is another example of Roma securing talent that has come through the club's youth system, a policy that gives the club continuity at a time when it is building around homegrown players. De Marzi, who was raised at Trigoria, sees the new deal as a sign of the club's trust in him. The next step for the goalkeeper is to keep progressing through daily work with the first team.

Roma are preparing to tie down another academy product, with goalkeeper Giorgio De Marzi reportedly on the verge of signing a new contract running until 2031. According to Il Tempo, the American shot-stopper is the club's third-choice goalkeeper and his current deal expires in June. The move follows the recent contract renewal for Emanuele Lulli, and forms part of the club's wider strategy of building around its young talent. The club is determined to keep its most promising players from its youth system, avoiding the mistake of losing some of its brightest prospects as it has in the past. De Marzi, born in 2007, is a United States international goalkeeper and the rest of the club's plans for continuity in its youth development are reflected in this renewal. Securing him on a long-term deal would give the club a homegrown stopper in its goalkeeping ranks for years to come.

Roma and Emanuele Lulli are closing in on a contract renewal, with the signing expected in the coming hours. The 19-year-old winger is set to commit to the Giallorossi for the next five years, according to Fabrizio Romano. The agreement between the club and the player's entourage has reportedly been reached definitively after talks held quietly to settle the final economic details and the length of the new deal. The renewal means Roma avoid losing Lulli on a free transfer when his contract expires in June. The new contract will rise in value over the years. Lulli will initially receive a fixed base salary of 300,000 euros, plus bonuses. The official announcement is expected in the next few hours.

Roma host Cagliari at the Stadio Olimpico on Tuesday in midweek Serie A action, with both sides looking to bounce back from disappointing weekend results. Roma came from two goals down to draw 3-3 with Napoli at the Maradona Stadium on Saturday, while Cagliari lost 2-0 at home to Bologna. Gian Piero Gasperini's side remain unbeaten in Serie A (W5, D3) and have avoided defeat in their first eight league matches of the season for the first time since 2013/14. However, a third draw in their last four league outings has left the Giallorossi four points behind joint leaders Inter and Lazio. Roma are vying for their first Scudetto since the beginning of the century and will be desperate to return to winning ways against a Cagliari side they have enjoyed plenty of success against at the Olimpico lately. Fabio Pisacane's team face a stern test. Cagliari have suffered nine defeats in their last 11 league visits to Rome (D2) and have not scored in any of their four away league meetings with Roma since 2022 (L4), including a 2-0 defeat in the corresponding fixture last season. Bologna's win condemned Cagliari to back-to-back league defeats for the first time since April, and the Sardinians have slipped to mid-table after a promising five-game start (W4, L1). They are winless in three consecutive league games (D1, L2), following a 4-0 defeat at Monza on their last Serie A trip. Their defence has also struggled: after conceding just twice in the opening five rounds, they have let in seven goals in their last three league outings. Cagliari last beat Roma at the Olimpico in February 2013. Roma have been strong at home, winning three of their four home league matches in 2026/27 (D1) and scoring at least two goals on each occasion. They have lost only one of their last 11 home games in all competitions (W8, D2), the exception being a 4-3 defeat to Real Madrid in this season's Champions League. The Giallorossi have won six of their last seven Tuesday Serie A fixtures (L1) and have netted two or more goals in eight consecutive home outings. That feat has been managed in three of their last five home clashes against Cagliari. Gasperini's attacking football has not come at the expense of defensive stability, as Roma have conceded just one first-half goal in Serie A this season and have opened the scoring in 63% of their league matches. Cagliari have been much more impressive away from home, with three wins from four league games on the road (L1), just one shy of the four road victories they recorded in the whole of the 2025/26 season. Maintaining that form would significantly boost their chances of a first top-half finish in Serie A since 2008/06. Bryan Cristante has returned from injury at a good time for Roma, giving the team a major midfield boost, as Gasperini cannot call upon Lorenzo Pellegrini or Manu Kone. First-choice goalkeeper Mile Svilar is also sidelined, but Paulo Dybala could make the bench on Tuesday. For Cagliari, long-term absentees Riyad Idrissi and Mattia Felici remain out. Harry Winks had to come off early against Bologna and is unlikely to start, with veteran Roberto Gagliardini expected to take his place in midfield. Roma (3-4-2-1): Gollini; Balerdi, Ndicka, Koulierakis; Lulli, De Roon, Cristante, Molina; Mora, Soule; Malen. Cagliari (4-3-2-1): Caprile; Ze Pedro, Mina, Rodriguez, Obert; Adopo, Gagliardini, Romano; Fadera, Maldini; Mendy. Roma are the favourites, with the preview predicting a Roma win.

AS Roma have officially extended the contract of 19-year-old Emanuele Lulli until 30 June 2031. The club announced a five-year deal for the 2007-born player, one of the standout young talents of the season under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. The renewal follows a start to the league campaign in which Lulli has earned an increasing share of minutes in Gasperini's rotation. He has also scored his first Serie A goal, against Genoa at the Stadio Olimpico. Over the summer, the player appeared destined for a loan move to find regular football. Gasperini instead chose to keep him, recognising his potential and quickly turning him into a first-team option. The signing marks another step in the club's strategy of developing players from its youth academy. Roma's official statement read: "AS Roma is pleased to announce the extension of Emanuele Lulli's contract. The giallorosso wide player, who this season made his professional debut and also scored his first goal in the match against Genoa, has signed a five-year agreement until 30 June 2031. Lulli and Roma will continue to write their future together, in the spirit of continuity and belonging to the giallorosso colours. Congratulations, Emanuele!" The previous agreement was due to expire in June 2027. Reports suggest the new contract includes a progressively rising salary and bonuses linked to individual performances and team results. CEO Galantic recently named Lulli and Niccolò Pisilli as examples of the club's youth development path, and the renewal is seen as a signal of the club's commitment to its academy players for both the present and the future.
