**Serie A side Roma have seen Mile Svilar grow in stature since Daniele De Rossi became manager. The keeper rejected a move to Juventus and he has now been asked about his situation in Rome.**
The Serbian has become one of the best keepers in the league in the last couple of campaigns. Get Italian Football News [covered](https://www.getfootballnewsitaly.com/2026/roma-reject-juventus-mile-svilar-offer-response-likely-definitive/) how Roma rejected the bid and this response was rather definitive.
Svilar spoke to Corriere della Sera about his growth at Roma. He was specifically about a move to Juventus.
He said – via [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/liste/roma-svilar-la-juventus-non-firmo-fino-al-2030-e-poi-rinnego-de-rossi-mi-ha-cambiato-la-vita/blt9c91ac52798c98e1#cs916aa2567823cc7e): _“I haven’t even had a conversation about this. I’m not someone who signs a contract extension until 2030 and then reneges on the decision I made the following year.”_
Svilar also revealed how he stops overthinking, as it impacts how he plays.
_“My real enemy is thinking. Do you know what the hardest part of my job is? It’s the part where I don’t do anything. In fact, the part where everyone thinks I don’t do anything. I think. Which is harder than making saves. Yes, because it’s easier to always be under stress with the saves; there you don’t have time to think, you help yourself with instinct._
He also revealed how he has to think negatively, especially as Roma spend a lot of time attacking
_“But in a dominant team like Roma, who play most of the game in the other half of the pitch, I spend a lot of time alone with myself. And I have to think. And I think negatively, a goalkeeper has to do that, he has to always imagine the worst-case scenario. The risk is that negative thoughts overwhelm you. On match day I have a session with my mental coach. I never skip it.”_
Svilar will see Roma take on Inter this weekend and will have a big say in what will be a huge game.
