Lorenzo Pellegrini: Roma captain linked with Premier League move

Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini may soon swap Serie A for the Premier League, as the Italian midfielder becomes a sought-after name in the upcoming transfer window. With interest from several top clubs, including English powerhouse Arsenal, Pellegrini’s future at the Stadio Olimpico appears uncertain.

According to La Repubblica, Roma are contemplating the possibility of cashing in on one of their most crucial players. While Pellegrini’s current contract runs until 2026, his market value and increasing interest from elite clubs make a summer departure a tempting prospect for the Giallorossi.

This season, Pellegrini has been a consistent presence for Roma, appearing in 21 matches across all competitions. Despite a relatively modest return of two goals and two assists, his influence as a leader and playmaker is undeniable. His versatility in midfield, coupled with his technical skills and vision, has made him a cornerstone of Roma squad.

Pellegrini’s talents extend beyond club football. The 28-year-old has earned 36 caps for the Italian national team, netting six goals. His performances on the international stage have solidified his reputation as a player capable of thriving at the highest levels of the game.

Euro Football Rumours

Premier League club Arsenal are reportedly leading the race to secure Pellegrini’s signature. The Gunners, who are rebuilding under Mikel Arteta, view Pellegrini as a key addition to bolster their midfield options. His creativity and experience could provide the ideal complement to Arsenal’s youthful core.

However, Arsenal are not alone in their pursuit. Serie A rivals Napoli and Inter Milan are also monitoring the situation closely. Napoli, see Pellegrini as a potential replacement for key departures, while Inter Milan could target him to reinforce their squad as they aim for domestic and European glory.

While a mid-season transfer remains unlikely, Roma appear open to selling Pellegrini during the summer window. This would provide the club with ample time to secure a suitable replacement while maximizing his transfer value.

As the summer approaches, speculation surrounding Pellegrini’s future is set to intensify. With Arsenal, Napoli, and Inter Milan all in contention, the Roma captain may have a significant decision to make about the next chapter of his career.

For now, Roma fans will hope Pellegrini continues to lead their side with distinction, even as whispers of a move to the Premier League grow louder.
