€2.5 million salary fuels Lorenzo Pellegrini’s Roma renewal talks

Midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini will earn €2.5 million per season as part of a looming two‑year contract extension with AS Roma, the Italian international’s capital club. The deal also contains an automatic third‑year renewal tied to his appearances, keeping Pellegrini Roma for the foreseeable future.

Roma have opened formal talks with Pellegrini’s agent to seal the new agreement before the week’s end. Positive Leggo discussions between Lorenzo’s entourage and sporting director Tony D’Amico underline the club’s determination to retain the midfielder.

The proposed contract spans two years, with a clause that activates an automatic third year if Pellegrini meets specific appearance criteria. This structure ties his long‑term stay directly to his on‑field contributions.

Pellegrini has turned down overtures from Turkish side Besiktas’, emphasizing his preference to remain in Serie A. The rejection highlights his desire to continue competing in Italy rather than moving abroad.

The midfielder hopes to be under the guidance of coach Gian Piero Gasperini by the end of the week. Aligning with Gasperini would complete the renewal process and solidify his role at Roma.
