Gasperini pushes for Pellegrini’s contract renewal | OneFootball

Pellegrini’s future is tied to Gasperini: his contract renewal is a priority for the coach, while the club has yet to make any moves.

According to La Repubblica, Lorenzo Pellegrini’s future at Roma is intertwined with that of Gian Piero Gasperini.

It seems counterintuitive, considering how it all began. Over the summer, the coach stripped him of the captain’s armband, relegating him from the core of the team.

Now, history tells of an improved relationship: great respect, mutual trust, and a permanent starting position. So much so that Gasperini, among the various guarantees required of the club for his permanence, has also included Pellegrini’s contract renewal.

Otherwise, he would be forced to rebuild the foundations of an already incomplete squad, not to mention the budget constraints that are stifling his transfer ambitions.

In short: a potential separation from Lorenzo would only fuel the discontent that, in recent weeks, has pushed Gian Piero to reflect on the future and sustainability of the project.

Of course, the coach knows that the player’s renewal inevitably depends on “financial aspects, which I can’t get into,” but he’s applying pressure anyway, as he tried to do for Dybala.

It remains to be seen when the club will finally make contact with the player’s entourage.
