Even in football, there are Batmans and Robins. Some are more likely to steal the show, while others remain quiet and behind the scenes, yet they perform a crucial role.
This is the case with Ndicka, who may not have Mancini’s grit or Hermoso’s charisma, but whose consistency is the (silent) leader of Roma’s defensive line.
The numbers speak for themselves, but above all, the facts. Evan has a solid resume.
Evan is a key figure despite the transfer rumors that rage every summer. He arrived on a free transfer in 2023, and his sale would generate a capital gain that would be useful for revitalizing the club’s coffers.
But in the end, he has always stayed despite some (timid) sirens from the Premier League, writes Daniele Aloisi in Il Messaggero.
In June, however, sporting director D’Amico’s duties will include sitting down with him to discuss a renewal. Ndicka has separated from his agent and is looking after his own interests.
His contract expires in 2028, and Roma will have to decide whether to extend it or let him go so as not to lose him for free twelve months later.
There’s no automatic renewal clause, but the center-back will receive 20% of the fee the club receives from his eventual sale.
Ultimately, it’s no good to anyone to leave on a free transfer. Evan is happy in the capital, and Gasp has no intention of losing one of his “gladiators.” Discussions will be postponed until next year.
