AS Roma have secured the services of promising Tunisian goalkeeper Slim Bouaskar after the teenager signed his first professional contract with the club, tying him to the Giallorossi until June 2028.
The 16-year-old, who has risen through the youth ranks at Roma, put pen to paper on a long-term deal that underlines the Italian side’s faith in his potential.
Bouaskar, already recognised as a Tunisian youth international, becomes the latest academy product to be rewarded with a senior contract.
Bouaskar has spent his formative years at the club’s renowned Trigoria training centre, where he has impressed coaches with his maturity, reflexes, and strong command of the penalty area—traits that have made him stand out among his peers.
Though still in his teenage years, the young shot-stopper is viewed by Roma as a long-term asset between the posts.
While he has yet to make a senior appearance, Bouaskar’s progress has not gone unnoticed by national selectors either.
He has already been involved with Tunisia’s youth teams, and his trajectory suggests a future role in the senior national setup.
Roma’s decision to lock Bouaskar into a contract until 2028 is seen as a statement of intent as the club continues to prioritise homegrown talent.
With the development of youth prospects central to their project, the club is investing in potential stars of the future, and Bouaskar now joins that list.
The deal also places Bouaskar among the youngest Tunisian players to sign professional terms with a major European club.
As he continues to develop within Roma’s ranks, the focus will now shift toward integrating him gradually into higher-level competition, with opportunities in the Primavera squad likely to follow.
AS Roma have yet to issue an official statement, but sources close to the club confirm that the agreement was finalised earlier today and includes a long-term development plan tailored to the goalkeeper’s progression.
Slim Bouaskar’s signing is another milestone in a promising career that appears to be gaining momentum on both the club and international fronts.
