Mattia Mannini, a talented young player from Sarzana, has been retained by Roma, who decided not to entertain offers for him. Despite having two requests from top Italian clubs during the January transfer window, Mannini chose to stay in Rome, influenced by Claudio Ranieri's decision. He signed a contract extension with Roma until 2028, with an optional season. Roma considers him a vital part of their future plans and has no intention of selling him to balance their finances.

La Repubblica reported that Mannini is nearing an agreement to extend his contract with Roma, as the club has proposed a renewal. Mannini, whose contract was approaching its end, had garnered interest from Udinese and several clubs across the English Channel, suggesting he might leave on a free transfer. Nonetheless, recent updates suggest a change in direction, with Roma eager to keep the versatile player born in 2006, who has already debuted for the first team under José Mourinho. Although discussions with the club's sporting director Ghisolfi and management are ongoing, a formal deal has not yet been finalized. Mannini has played a crucial role in Roma's youth team this season, with 11 appearances and 2 goals, and is a significant figure in Italy's Under 19 national team, where he has captained the team.
