Celik nears contract renewal with Roma as talks progress

Celik is close to renewing his contract with AS Roma, with negotiations reportedly in the final stages. Initially uncertain about his future due to an expiring deal and high demands from his agent, recent discussions have yielded optimism from both parties. Celik, who joined Roma for €7 million, is expected to see a slight increase from his current €2 million salary plus bonuses. Manager Gian Piero Gasperini has actively supported the full-back's stay amid interest from Inter, Juventus, and clubs in Turkey. Final details of the contract are likely to be resolved shortly, with both Celik and his agent feeling positive about the outcome.
