Hermoso's loan will expire in the summer and, to date, the Giallorossi club has not yet discussed a possible permanent transfer with Bayer Leverkusen.
However, negotiations are expected in the coming weeks and Roma will have to decide whether to cash in on the defender's transfer or reinstate him in the squad for next season: the new coach will decide.
At the moment, however, it seems more likely that Hermoso may not return to Trigoria.

Fabio Capello: 'Gasperini will need time.'
Former Roma manager Fabio Capello discussed Roma's appointment of Gian Piero Gasperini. In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Capello urged Roma fans and the club to have patience and allow Gasperini to work on his methods. Advertisement 'Gasp will inevitably need some time to make his players understand his ideas and methods,' said Capello .'Which are very different from Ranieri's.' 'I'm very curious about his adventure in Rome,' he added. 'The first match of the new season with Bologna should be interesting and unpredictable. Roma will immediately face a super well-oiled and top-level team, like that of Vincenzo Italiano, which is now a solid reality in our football.'

Liverpool submit new £113 million bid for Florian Wirtz
Liverpool have submitted a new bid of £113 million to Bayer Leverkusen for playmaker Florian Wirtz, according to The Times. The new proposal will see the Reds pay £100 million guaranteed, plus another £13 million in bonuses. Unfortunately, it is still short of Bayer Leverkusen's demands. Advertisement Die Werkself want £126 million (€150 million) to let Wirtz go, but Liverpool do not want to match that exorbitant fee. Despite the report from The Times, other reliable sources suggest that all parties will still agree on a deal, as the player is keen on a move to Anfield. While many ponder whether the German international is worth the eye-watering sum, his numbers have been consistently elite. Wirtz joined Bayer Leverkusen from FC Koln at the age of 16. Within weeks of turning 17, he was already making his Bundesliga debut. Weeks later, he scored against Bayern Munich to become the youngest-ever Bundesliga goalscorer at 17 years and 34 days (at the time). He has proven his mettle through the years. Advertisement Wirtz was a standout as Leverkusen won the domestic double last term and reached the Europa League final. They did not reach those heights this term, but he finished with 16 goals and 14 assists. Wirtz ranked eighth for progressive passes in the Bundesliga this season (155). Last term, he made and received the third most progressive passes in the German top flight. This makes excellent reading for a number 10 who operates between the lines. He also created 2.1 chances from open play per 90 minutes in the Bundesliga this season (min. 1,000 minutes). That was more than any of his Leverkusen teammates, while only Mohamed Salah averaged more for Liverpool (2.3) in the Premier League. Advertisement Wirtz executed the fourth-most carries in the Bundesliga this season (549). Only one player had more than his five assists following a carry. The Leverkusen star also attempted (165) and completed (82) the most dribbles in the Bundesliga this season. The underlying numbers are excellent, compelling Liverpool to break their transfer record. However, he will be under pressure to deliver if he gets the big-money move to England.
