Lazio leave Pellegrini out of Serie A squad, future unclear | OneFootball

Lazio left Luca Pellegrini out of their Serie A squad on Wednesday despite two available places, sharpening uncertainty over his future.

After the window closed, the club submitted their list without Pellegrini, Patric, who is out long term, and Alessio Romagnoli, who is finalising a move to Al-Sadd. According to Il Messaggero, the decision was intended to hasten an exit, he was told to find a new club in July and Gennaro Gattuso does not see a role for him. He is in the final year of his contract and the club would prefer a fee, and the market remains open in some countries, particularly Türkiye, where he is said to have suitors, while he is furious and not entertaining offers.

The 27-year-old is a lifelong Lazio supporter who arrived from Juventus in January 2023, making the move permanent in 2025.

He has drifted in and out of the starting XI, with Nuno Tavares generally preferred on the left. Alfonso Pedraza’s arrival under Gattuso has left him third-choice and he has been deemed surplus, particularly without European football.

How the situation develops remains unclear in the days ahead.
