Lorenzo Pellegrini has emerged as a serious option for Juventus as the club begins to shape its plans for the next transfer window. The Roma captain, whose contract is edging towards its expiry, is being closely monitored by the Bianconeri as uncertainty grows over his future in the capital.
La Gazzetta report that at Continassa, there is keen interest in how relations between Pellegrini and Roma develop in the coming months, with current indications suggesting limited chances of a contract extension. This scenario could open up a significant opportunity for Juventus, especially given Luciano Spalletti’s strong appreciation of the midfielder’s qualities.
A Profile That Fits Juventus’ Plan
Juventus are in the market for high-quality midfield reinforcements, but any move must align with sustainable financial parameters. In this context, Pellegrini’s profile appears particularly appealing: he currently earns around 4 million euros per season and, for now, there are few signs of a major bidding war developing around him.
Deeply attached to Roma, Pellegrini is nonetheless thought to be looking for an ambitious project that allows him to remain a central figure in the hunt for trophies. A proposal from Juventus could therefore be especially attractive, not least because of Spalletti’s presence on the bench and his detailed knowledge of what Pellegrini can offer from a technical and leadership standpoint. In a Juventus midfield packed with players of similar profile, the Roma captain could add extra **quality** in the final third and provide more solutions in the attacking phase.
Potential Free-Transfer Opportunity
What makes the operation even more intriguing from Juventus’ perspective is the potential cost structure. If Pellegrini does not renew with Roma, he could be available on a free transfer, allowing the Bianconeri to focus their financial resources solely on his salary.
According to early indications, informal contact has already been made through intermediaries to gauge the player’s willingness to consider a move to Turin. Should Spalletti decide to intervene directly to persuade Pellegrini, the negotiations could accelerate quickly.
For now, Juventus are in an evaluation phase, but Pellegrini’s name remains firmly on the list of targets being monitored ahead of the upcoming transfer windows, with the possibility of a significant coup at zero transfer cost very much on the table.
