The agreement includes a new multi-year contract with a salary of 3.5 million euros per season, to which will be added bonuses linked to individual and team objectives.
The will of the player was decisive, who rejected concrete offers from Serie A, Premier League and Bundesliga clubs, choosing to continue his journey in Giallorossi.
After a season in which he established himself as a starter, earning the trust of fans and club, Svilar has become a fixed point of Roma's new long-term project.

Newcastle United Already Facing Challenges In A Pivotal Summer Window
Newcastle United wanted Bryan Mbeumo and, by all accounts, believed the Cameroonian would be just as keen to move to St James' Park. This was before Manchester United made its interest known in Mbeumo with the Brentford attacker now seemingly on his way to Old Trafford. Newcastle quickly ditched its effort to sign the 25-year-old. The Magpies had also been linked with Matheus Cunha before being beaten to the punch on the signing of the Brazilian by Manchester United. A trend is developing of Newcastle losing out on its summer transfer targets to rivals that have more Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) headroom on the balance sheet. This is shaping up to be a pivotal summer for Newcastle. Last season was a positive one as Eddie Howe's team won the Carabao Cup and finished in the Premier League's top five to qualify for next season's Champions League. In theory, this should give Newcastle a platform to build on as the Saudi-owned club moves towards being an English soccer superpower. In Alexander Isak, Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali, Newcastle has three players it can continue to build around. In other areas of the squad, though, Howe needs reinforcements to push his team higher up the Premier League table next season. This is where this summer's transfer business will be key. Joao Pedro is reportedly a target for the Magpies. The Brazilian enjoyed a positive 2024/25 campaign for Brighton and has been linked with Liverpool. With the Premier League champions currently moving for Florian Wirtz, though, Newcastle could get a deal done for Pedro first. The race is on for the Brighton attacker's signature. Pedro is talented, but doesn't fill an obvious hole in Newcastle's team. He is most comfortable in a central position where the Magpies are already strong. Right wing, where Mbeumo operates, is a greater need, and Pedro is capable of playing there, but Newcastle's summer strategy so far has been somewhat scattergun. There is still plenty time for Newcastle to implement its summer transfer plans, although the departure of Paul Mitchell as the club's sporting director won't have helped matters. The Magpies have gone through two sporting directors, including Dan Ashworth, in the space of two years and so it's under surprising that their transfer strategy is somewhat garbled. Newcastle is technically the richest club in the world such is its backing from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), but progress to date has been slow due to the Premier League's PSR and other factors. This summer, however, presents an opportunity to accelerate growth.

Is Benjamin Sesko the answer for Arsenal this summer?
Arsenal's address of an obvious weakness looks set to take place this summer. The lack of an out-and-out goalscorer in the side was evident last season, with Mikel Arteta and his recruitment team now looking to solve the side's shortcomings. At the start of the summer, Arsenal appeared to have a considerable list of targets. With the transfer window set to re-open tomorrow, it appears the shortlist is down to two: Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres. Advertisement Despite the sheer volume of Gyokeres's numbers, Sesko appears to be the frontrunner. Arsenal first expressed interest in the 22-year-old last summer and have returned a year later, following RB Leipzig's failure to secure European football. The Slovenian is a huge prospect. But is Sesko the 'win-now striker' Arsenal are searching for after three consecutive runners-up finishes in the Premier League? And how does he compare to Gyokeres, both statistically and stylistically? Gyokeres vs Sesko: The numbers In terms of output, there is only one winner. Gyokeres has scored 97 goals in 102 games across the last two seasons for Sporting Lisbon, an absurd total to end consecutive campaigns as the Primeira Liga's leading scorer. Advertisement Though 30.7% of his league goals arrived from the penalty spot, Gyokeres still scored 29 non-penalty goals from a non-penalty xG of 21.49, over-performing from open play. His 28.1% conversion rate was comfortably the highest in the Primeira Liga and better than almost all of the Premier League's top scorers from 2024/25, barring Nottingham Forest's Chris Wood (29.4%). For context, Premier League Golden Boot winner Mohamed Salah converted 22.3% of his efforts on goal last season. The caveat, of course, is Gyokeres's goals have come in Portugal, ranked as only Europe's seventh-strongest domestic division, behind the Eredivisie. What percentage of that output can be transferred to the Premier League is the biggest question mark around Gyokeres. At 27, the Swede has never played in a top-five European league. Sesko scored 13 league goals for Leipzig last season and has 27 over his two Bundesliga campaigns. In both seasons, he's outperformed his xG, even if a conversion rate of 19.1% – equal to Ollie Watkins last season – does not stand out quite as Gyokeres's does. It's worth noting, however, that across his two Bundesliga seasons, he's scored 27 times from only 17.7 xG. Why Sesko appears a better stylistic fit for Arsenal Gyokeres's goals make a compelling case for his signing, but there's an argument that Sesko, while raw, is a better stylistic fit. A towering presence with pace, athleticism, height and running power, it's a recipe that could solve several issues for the Gunners. Advertisement Arsenal ranked third in the Premier League for crosses per game last season, with only Bournemouth and Fulham averaging more. Mikel Merino deputised admirably as an auxiliary forward in Kai Havertz's absence, but the lack of a natural penalty-box presence was apparent. Though cross volume was high, in terms of efforts on goal per 90, Arsenal were fifth and only sixth for shots on target. Sesko's 6ft 5in frame and tremendous leap would give the Gunners a focal point that has been lacking. In addition to scoring three headed goals, Sesko ranked in the top 15% of forwards in the Bundesliga for aerial duels won (70) and percentage of aerial duels won last season. Gyokeres won just 36 aerial duels for Sporting in the Primeira Liga, while none of his 54 goals in all competitions came via his head. Given the Premier League's greater athleticism and Arsenal's expertise from set-pieces, that is perhaps an area of concern for Arsenal. Advertisement Sesko, however, is more than a stationary target man awaiting deliveries. His dribble success rate is better than Gyokeres' in league action last season, while an average of 1.46 successful take-ons per game was a Bundesliga-leading total among recognised number nines. In addition, he's quick. Sesko clocked a top speed of 35.69 km/h in 2024/25, with only Gabriel Martinelli recording a faster sprint speed in the current Arsenal squad. Is Sesko the right transfer for Arsenal? It's important to note that comparing Arsenal's favoured forward targets does not necessarily have to conclude with one winner and one loser. Both are among the best options on the current market and both have attributes that could suit the North Londoners. Either would represent a clear upgrade in an attack that was patched together for long periods of last season. Advertisement Sesko appears to have an edge in stylistic fit and a plethora of raw ingredients that could thrive at the Emirates. At five years younger, the Slovenian could be the long-term answer. He might not be readymade to win a Premier League Golden Boot but there's plenty to like. Coupled with an additional wide player that can ease the creative burden on Bukayo Saka, the addition of Sesko could be crucial in turning Arsenal from contenders to champions. Given investment elsewhere at direct rivals this summer, Arsenal need to get their business right.
