Minimal half‑million hurdle tests Lorenzo Pellegrini’s Roma future
AS Roma need to close a minimal half‑million‑euro gap to retain midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini, who remains a free agent, before he can report to the July 13 pre‑season camp at Trigoria. His number 7 role is crucial as two new signings are set to line up behind forward Malen, and the club’s strategic plans hinge on the renewal.
Gian Piero Gasperini, the Roma head coach, has stressed the importance of the Giallorossi number 7 and asked for Pellegrini’s continued presence. His role becomes even more vital as two new signings are set to line up behind forward Malen.
Pellegrini’s agent has already held an initial meeting with club director D’Amico. Both sides are moving toward a final deal.

Pellegrini has consistently favoured remaining in the capital, turning down interest from abroad. This loyalty underlines his desire to stay with the Roman side. According to Corriere della Sera, roughly half a million euros are still pending to secure a full agreement. The sum represents the final piece needed to extend his contract with the Giallorossi club. Securing the deal will allow Pellegrini to join the July 13 training camp in Trigoria. The camp aims to focus solely on the pitch ahead of the upcoming season. A July 13 arrival at Trigoria is pending, and Pellegrini is expected to report to the pre‑season camp on that date. An agreement with the Giallorossi club must be reached in the coming days.
