“I love Roma, and as long as I wear this shirt, there will never be a moment when I’ll give less than my all. I can’t make predictions about the future.” These were the words Lorenzo Pellegrini spoke with after the derby victory over Lazio.
As was the case last season, the Giallorossi captain—coming off a difficult period and close to being sold—decided the derby and put himself back at the center of the project.
However, despite his goal against the Biancocelesti, the club’s intentions toward him appear unchanged, writes La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Pellegrini’s contract is on hold and the player could already leave the club in January.
Pellegrini’s contract is worth approximately €5 million plus €1 million in bonuses, and the club has no intention of extending it.
Therefore, a January departure seems likely, so as not to lose him on a free transfer in June.
