Eldor Shomurodov is shining in 'Roma': the contract has been extended, and the games are getting stronger!
The captain of the Uzbekistan national team and the best scorer in history, Eldor Shomurodov's activities in Italy have entered a bright phase again. The 29-year-old forward has also found his place at the club level — today he has become one of the key players in the 'Roma' squad.

Under Claudio Ranieri, Eldor's game has opened up. His dedication on the field, hard work, and attitude towards team play are highly appreciated not only by the coach but also by the team's fans.

The contract has been extended, but the salary has been reduced

According to several prestigious Italian media outlets, the 'Roma' club has extended the current contract with Shomurodov for one year until June 30, 2026. The new deal was made in accordance with the team's financial policy — Eldor's salary has been slightly reduced, but this did not affect his role in the starting lineup.

Previously, 'Roma' had also extended contracts with Nicolo Pizilli and Leandro Paredes. Now, they have strengthened their collaboration with the Uzbek forward as well.

Eldor could have left, but...

Just yesterday, the 'Roma' club attempted to get rid of Eldor twice. Initially, he was supposed to move to MLS's 'Atlanta United'. Then, he could have transferred to 'Venezia' in the winter. However, one goal changed everything!

The crucial goal scored in the Europa League match against 'Eintracht' altered the decision of the Romans. Ranieri firmly stated that after this match, Eldor must stay at 'Roma', and his transfer was blocked.

From the bench — to heroism!

Although Shomurodov often comes off the bench, his impact on the field is significant. He is bringing valuable points and helping his team in decisive situations. Thanks to Eldor's influence, 'Roma' is currently continuing the fight for the UEFA Champions League.

Eldor's mark in Italy

Shomurodov transferred from Russia's 'Rostov' to Italy's 'Genoa' in October 2020. After a successful debut there, 'Roma' added him to their squad. According to Transfermarkt, this transfer cost the capital club 19.6 million euros.

Since then, he has also played on loan for 'Spezia' and 'Cagliari'. To date, Eldor has participated in 122 matches in Serie A and scored 18 goals. Additionally, he has delighted his teammates with 11 assists.

The Uzbekistan national team — Eldor’s pride

Eldor Shomurodov is a true leader not only at the club level but also at the national team level. He has played 80 matches for the Uzbekistan national team and scored 41 goals. With this achievement, he has become the best scorer in Uzbekistan's history.

Currently, our national team is on the verge of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, and Eldor's role in this process is invaluable.

Eldor Shomurodov is one of the brightest stars in Uzbekistan football today. His success at 'Roma', the extension of his contract, and his records with the national team can serve as great motivation for young players. Eldor is sure to capture many more hearts in the attack!
