As Roma push for a Champions League spot, all eyes are on their season finale against Hellas Verona. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini is fully committed to the cause, leaning on his star players to outpace Luciano Spalletti's Juventus in the race for Europe's top competition.
The Giallorossi are determined not to drop a single point down the stretch. Their mission is clear: secure wins against Fiorentina, Parma, Lazio, and Verona, while hoping Juventus stumbles along the way. It's a high-stakes sprint to the finish, and Gasperini is banking on his core trio to deliver.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Gasperini has drawn up a list of non-transferable players—three key figures who represent both the present and future of the club. Barring any wild, off-market offers, Mile Svilar, Wesley, and Donyell Malen are staying put in Rome next season.
Let's start with Svilar. The goalkeeper has seen a slight dip in form lately, but that's only because his first-half performances set an impossibly high bar. He's been consistently miraculous, making save after save without a single glaring error. He's the kind of shot-stopper every title-chasing team needs.
Then there's Wesley, the €25 million signing (plus €5 million in bonuses) who has become an immovable pillar in Gasperini's setup. His performances keep improving, and so does his value—it's already doubled to €50 million since the summer. Wesley brings unique qualities to the team: blistering speed, slick dribbling, and sheer unpredictability. Simply put, Gasperini can't do without him. And with the upcoming World Cup clash against Brazil on the horizon, his stock could soar even higher.
Finally, there's Malen—the man who needs little introduction. With 11 goals in just 14 Serie A matches, he's been a revelation. Roma will trigger his €25 million buyout clause from Aston Villa, securing their striker of the future. He's the finisher this team has been craving.
For Roma, these three aren't just players—they're the backbone of a Champions League dream. And if Gasperini has his way, they'll be wearing Giallorossi colors for a long time to come.
