Football Italia reported on Wednesday that AS Roma have opened talks to extend defender Mario Hermoso's contract until 2029.
The Italian club is keen to secure the Spanish centre-back's long-term future after his arrival in the summer. Hermoso, who joined Roma on a free transfer from Atletico Madrid, has become a regular in the starting lineup.
Negotiations are at an early stage, but both parties are reportedly optimistic about reaching an agreement that would keep the 29-year-old at the Stadio Olimpico for several more seasons.
