Roma's choice to extend Chris Smalling's contract is a smart move. This shows they value his great impact in recent years. His 32 Serie A games this season highlight his vital role in defense. At 33, Smalling adds not just talent but vast experience to the field - a point noted by Mourinho. Despite his age, Smalling's influence will be key for Roma in the future. Still, the extension till 2025 means the club should look for a future replacement for a smooth transition post-Smalling.
