Roma prepare Mancini’s renewal until 2029 | OneFootball

Defender or striker? Gianluca Mancini was everything against Lazio: a central defender who limited Sarri’s attackers and a relentless header.

The Giallorossi’s number 23 made derby history with a brace he’ll never forget.

Mancini also scored another decisive goal in a derby after the one on April 6, 2024: on that occasion, the assist from a corner was provided by Paulo Dybala, the same man who crossed for the 2-0 goal yesterday.

Gianluca Mancini’s forays into the penalty area have become a trademark.

It’s no coincidence that the Giallorossi’s number 23 is the second-most-goaled defender in Roma history (23), behind Panucci (31).

A goalscoring ability that Gian Piero Gasperini also highlighted, explaining that certain situations aren’t coincidental but the result of hard work.

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Mancini is a leader for the present and the future.

His contract renewal until 2029 is imminent, as is Cristante’s. Mancini wants to end his career in the capital, ready to continue his experience with Gasp on the bench.

His challenge in Rome began in 2019, and with a contract extension, the marriage could last at least 10 years.

The Giallorossi’s number 23 hasn’t yet had the chance to play in the Champions League, but hopes to do so next season. The final stop is Verona: victory is the key to participating in the former Champions League.
