It’s a race against time for Lorenzo Pellegrini.
Roma’s number 7 has been injured and wants to return to Gasperini’s side as soon as possible to help the team in the final league matches.
The most realistic goal seems to be the derby against Lazio, but a call-up to Parma cannot be ruled out.
Pellegrini’s other pursuit is a contract renewal. If the player doesn’t extend his deal with the Giallorossi, he will be free to choose another team starting July 1st.
As Corriere dello Sport reports, contacts between the Roman club and the midfielder’s entourage began about a month ago.
Given his current salary of €6 million, Pellegrini would have to accept a pay cut of at least 50% to stay.
Gasperini is leaving the door open for Lorenzo Pellegrini. The Grugliasco-born coach hasn’t ruled out a possible contract renewal for the Giallorossi number 7; on the contrary… The manager is reportedly happy with him staying in Rome. The coach’s thoughts could be a deciding factor in this matter.
There’s mutual respect, as well as the belief that the player can be a resource of experience and quality, no longer indispensable but important.
The club and Pellegrini are reflecting and will meet again at the end of the season, when the type of competition Roma will face next seas
