Roma secure Emanuele Lulli’s future with deal until 2031

Roma have secured the future of academy graduate Emanuele Lulli, with the 19-year-old signing a new contract that runs until 30 June 2031.

The five-year extension was confirmed by the club on Monday, rewarding the young wide player after his rapid introduction to senior football. Lulli made his professional debut this season and has already scored his first Serie A goal, finding the net in AS Roma’s match against Genoa.

His progress has attracted attention under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who has given the teenager opportunities in the first team. Lulli has responded by becoming part of the senior squad’s rotation, offering energy and attacking threat from the flank.

The new agreement gives Roma long-term security over a player they regard as one of the promising products of their youth system. The club’s announcement said the extension would continue a relationship built on continuity and his connection with the Giallorossi colours.

Lulli’s breakthrough has come during his first season as a professional, making the length of the new deal a significant show of confidence. Rather than allowing his contract situation to become a distraction as his role develops, Roma have now tied him to the club for another five years.

The youngster’s first senior goal against Genoa added a notable milestone to a campaign in which he has begun to make the transition from academy prospect to first-team option. His progress will now be measured by how consistently he can contribute as competition for places increases.

Roma have increasingly looked to develop young players capable of contributing to the first team, and Lulli’s renewal gives the club another long-term commitment within that plan. The contract runs through the end of June 2031, meaning he is secured well beyond the immediate period in which he is establishing himself.

The new deal also gives Gasperini time to continue assessing how best to use Lulli as the youngster gains experience at senior level.

The announcement closes one question about his future, leaving Lulli to concentrate on maintaining his progress and earning further opportunities under Gasperini.
