Corriere dello Sport reports that Chelsea submitted the offer as part of their summer goalkeeping overhaul, returning to a target they first identified in the January transfer window. AS Roma's response was the same as it was then: Svilar is not for sale.
The Belgian-born Serbia international has developed into one of Serie A's most reliable goalkeepers since being handed his opportunity by former Roma coach Daniele De Rossi.
He was voted the best goalkeeper in Serie A last season after keeping 16 clean sheets, and was rewarded with a contract extension running until 2030.
Gasperini, who took over the Roma hot seat this season, regards Svilar as central to how the team plays out from the back — a style that suits the Belgian's distribution qualities.
His position aligns with the club's ownership, who also have no motivation to sell given the stability Svilar provides at the back of a squad Gasperini is actively reinforcing elsewhere.
Chelsea's search for a goalkeeper continues elsewhere.
