Rome, Pellegrini is unlikely to leave in January: Inter are in pole position for the summer

The contract of Lorenzo Pellegrini with the Rome it will expire in 2026 and at this moment it seems very difficult to imagine that the midfielder could renew. It is no mystery that the captain of the Giallorossi is experiencing a very particular period and the possibility of a transfer by the class of ’96 already in January has been discussed several times. According to what was reported by Corriere della Serait is unlikely that the club will deprive itself of an important player in the middle of the season, while it is likely to do so in the summer. The newspaper explains how theInter Simone Inzaghi is currently the favorite to win it in a few months.

The 28-year-old played 19 times for Roma in 2024-2025, scoring one goal and providing 2 assists in 1,161 minutes. Too little for someone like him who in 14 appearances in Serie A has not yet found the net, something he did in one of the 4 Europa League matches played. One presence in the Italian Cup instead.

The words of Claudio Ranieri
“The player enjoys all my trust, so if they are offered we will evaluate them like all the others, no more and no less. I hope that he can stay here with us, but I would like him too to be happy to be with us.”
