Official: Roma announce Mancini & Cristante renewals | OneFootball

Roma have confirmed contract extensions for Gianluca Mancini and Bryan Cristante, securing two of the club’s longest-serving players on the same day.

According to the club’s official announcements, Mancini has committed until 2029 and Cristante until 2028.

The pair have become fixtures of the Giallorossi side over the best part of a decade, Mancini since 2019, Cristante since 2018, and both extensions underline Gian Piero Gasperini’s desire to build his squad around an experienced, established core ahead of the club’s return to the Champions League.

Mancini renewal ends Inter interest as Roma secure their spine

For Mancini, the deal draws a line under a summer of speculation.

The Italy defender’s previous contract had been due to expire next year, and Inter pushed hard to land him as they searched for reinforcements following the departures of Francesco Acerbi and Stefan de Vrij.

Roma held firm, and the 1996-born centre-back, now with 319 appearances and 23 goals for the club, stays put on a deal running to 2029.

Cristante’s renewal rewards similar loyalty. The midfielder has made 364 appearances since arriving in the capital in 2018, a tally that places him among the top ten appearance-makers in Roma’s history, and his versatility and dressing-room standing have made him a valued presence under a succession of coaches.

The double announcement caps a productive stretch of contract work for Roma, following the recent renewals of Paulo Dybala and Zeki Celik, though the latter, having let his deal lapse, ultimately departed for Juventus on a free. In tying down Mancini and Cristante, the Giallorossi have at least ensured their spine remains intact.
