Mile Svilar Attracts Premier League Attention
AS Roma’s goalkeeper Mile Svilar is in the spotlight as Chelsea and Manchester United assess their options for strengthening their squads, according to sources familiar with the transfer market.
The 26-year-old Serbian, who joined AS Roma on a free transfer in 2022, has shown significant improvement during his time there, prompting interest from some of the Premier League’s most prominent clubs.
Svilar’s deal with Roma extends until 2030, giving the club the advantage in negotiations. Early estimates suggest a transfer fee of around €60 million, which would make him one of the costliest goalkeepers available.
Having established himself as a key player, Svilar’s valuation reflects his growing reputation. However, the substantial price tag could pose challenges, as Manchester United focuses on enhancing their midfield and defense.
Roma recognizes Svilar’s worth, and with his acquisition costing nothing, any sale approaching the €60 million mark would represent an impressive return on investment. Given the increasing demand for top goalkeepers in 2026, the Serie A club feels confident in their negotiating position.
Chelsea is reportedly preparing to pursue new center-back options this January
