Celik one step away from renewing Roma contract, talks are in final stages
class="wp-block-paragraph">Celik will remain at Roma.

class="wp-block-paragraph">The Turkish full-back seemed unlikely to remain in the capital, given his expiring contract and his agent’s high demands for a new deal, but progress has been made in the last few hours.
>
class="wp-block-paragraph">Both parties are confident that the final details will be resolved in the coming hours. The negotiations haven’t been easy, but now the final credits and handshakes have begun.

class="wp-block-paragraph">Celik arrived in Rome for €7 million and a €250,000 commission. In recent months, Gasperini has pushed for the Turkish full-back’s permanence in the capital and has personally worked to break the deadlock in which Inter, Juventus, and Turkish clubs have attempted to intervene.

class="wp-block-paragraph">As Il Tempo reports, the former Lille player, unlike Dybala and Pellegrini, is set to renew his contract with a slight increase over the €2 million plus bonuses he was earning. Further contacts are expected to finalize the deal, but the path is now clear: Celik will remain in Rome, and even the player’s agent is optimistic.
