Report – Roma Consider Extending Italy Midfielder’s Expiring Contract Amid Inter Milan Interest | OneFootball

Roma could tie Lorenzo Pellegrini down to a new contract, while Inter Milan continue to monitor the Italian midfielder. 

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInter1908, the 29-year-old has eight matches to convince the Giallorossi to offer him a new deal.

Pellegrini’s current contract expires in June.

Despite his long-term service at the Stadio Olimpico, the star midfielder has lost his first-team status this season.

Indeed, he has made only 18 Serie A appearances this term, falling behind Manu Kone in the pecking order.

Therefore, Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have been reluctant to offer him a contract extension.

Meanwhile, Inter have set their sights on the former Sassuolo man, with Beppe Marotta viewing him as a decent cost-effective signing.

Roma Could Offer Inter Milan Target Lorenzo Pellegrini Late Contract Renewal

With eight games left to play, Roma trail fourth-placed Como by three points.

Therefore, they must play catch-up to Cesc Fabregas’ side if they’re to secure a first top-four Serie A finish since 2017/18.

On the other hand, it will also be an opportunity for Lorenzo Pellegrini to recover his household status in the capital.
