Roma are hoping to secure the future of coach Luigi Delneri, in addition to their star players.
The Giallorossi are aiming to hand new contracts to key playing troika Vincenzo Montella, Francesco Totti and Antonio Cassano.
But they also want to tie down Delneri to a new deal after the former Chievo Verona chief worked the oracle at Stadio Olimpico.
Delneri has lifted Roma into a position to challenge for a UEFA Champions League place after a torrid first few weeks of the season saw the departure of Rudi Voller.
The German tactician had only been in the role for a handful of weeks himself, after Cesare Prandelli quit due to family reasons.
There have been rumours that Roma will try to tempt Prandelli back to the Eternal City at the end of the season.
Those reports have been refuted by Roma chief officer Rossella Sensi, who wants Delneri to continue the club's revival.
"I think we must give merit to the job Delneri has done," Sensi told Corriere dello Sport.
"We are following a plan defined last season and Delneri is a part of it.
"Last summer our hope was to allow Prandelli to come back but now Delneri is our coach and he will continue for next season, too."
Other rumours have suggested that the Sensi family are plotting to sell the club but Roma's chief officer affirmed this is not the case.
She added: "Roma aren't for sale and I'm tired of these rumours. Who talks about it certainly doesn't want Roma's good."
