Galatasaray consider move for Roma keeper Svilar
Turkish club Galatasaray are weighing up a move for Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar, reports in Italy claim.
According to today’s edition of La Repubblica, via CalcioMercato, the Super Lig outfit view the Roma star as the perfect successor to Fernando Muslera, who left the club this summer after 14 years.
The reports suggest that whilst no official negotiations are underway as of yet, Galatasaray are encouraged by the fact Svilar has yet to sign his contract extension with the Giallorossi.
Will Svilar stay or will he go?
The highly rated 25-year-old has just finished an impressive season. The former Benfica man was named Serie A goalkeeper of the season for the 2024-25 campaign and Roma are preparing to offer him a new deal to reflect his increased status.
However, now Galatasaray look set to come knocking. The Turkish side are undertaking a massive overhaul, with Leroy Sane joining on a free from Bayern Munich, the club attempting to sign Victor Osimhen permanently and Inter duo Yann Sommer and Hakan Calhanoglu both linked with moves to the club.
Svilar had already been linked with Milan earlier in the window, after French goalkeeper Mike Maignan was linked away from the Rossoneri.
If Roma want to keep their talented Serbian, they will have to act quickly and wrap up a new contract for the player.
