In recent months, Nicola Zalewski has become a key player of the Polish national team. Therefore, his position in the club, which had deteriorated significantly, could be worrying. The Pole played much less in the second part of last season and came under fire from Italian fans.
Will Zalewski extend his contract with Roma? The first proposal was rejected
When it turned out that Zalewski would not leave Roma in the summer transfer window, the Polish representative lost his place in the first team – he was not even on the substitute bench. The situation has started to change in recent days. The Pole played as many as 70 minutes against Monza last weekend. According to Italian media, he can count on a return to regular play. However, there is one condition. He must sign a new contract. – After extending his contract, I don't think there will be any problems with his return to the squad – said journalist Gabriele Spaletta.
It turns out that the club has already started negotiations with Zalewski. This was reported by journalist Nicolo Schira. “AS Roma has resumed talks with Nicola Zalewski regarding the extension of the contract, which currently expires in June 2025. The Pole rejected the first offer (EUR 1 million per year) and is waiting for a new offer. During the summer transfer window, Zalewski rejected the proposals of PSV and Galatasaray” – he wrote on social media.
Will the Polish representative reach an agreement with the club and extend the contract? If this means Zalewski's return to regular play, Michał Probierz is certainly counting on such a scenario. The Roma player is among those called up for the Polish national team's October training camp. In a few days, the Polish national team will play in the Nations League against Portugal (12/10, 20:45) and Croatia (15/10, 20:45).
