Lorenzo Pellegrini is officially a free agent for Roma, and the fans are absolutely not taking it sitting down, already posting banners demanding his renewal. This attacking midfielder, the team’s number 7, has not signed a new deal yet, leaving everyone wondering what’s holding things up when his priority is crystal clear: he wants to remain with the Giallorossi.
The Number 7 Wants To Stay, So What Gives?
Multiple clubs are out there trying to negotiate with Pellegrini, which makes sense, the guy’s a game-changer. But his priority? He’s made it loud and clear he wants to remain with the Giallorossi. The club and his reps are talking, trying to hammer out a deal, but there’s a noticeable gap between what’s on the table and what they’re asking for. It’s not just about money, either; sometimes these things get complex.
Gasperini’s Clear Message and That Pesky Injury
As if contract drama wasn’t enough, there’s another major factor: Pellegrini, born in ’96, is still recovering from an injury he picked up late last season. This means even if he signed today, he wouldn’t be available to suit up for coach Gian Piero Gasperini anyway. Gasp just held a press conference, and he was crystal clear on the renewal. He stated, “I want him to renew. I hope he can recover from his injury soon and then reach an agreement with the club.” You gotta respect a coach who lays it all out like that.
Fans Go All In For Lorenzo
The fans, the Curva, totally echoed their coach’s sentiment. While the players were doing their first test of the season at Trigoria, a banner appeared. It was aimed straight at the Friedkins, reading, “Making a mistake can happen… Repeating it is approximating! Let’s hold on to Lorenzo!” That’s not subtle, is it? They’re making it clear that letting Pellegrini walk would be a massive blunder. Despite all this back-and-forth, the general vibe is that, barring some wild twist, our number 7 is staying put with the Roman team.
So, all eyes are on the club and Pellegrini’s camp to bridge that gap and get this deal done, not to mention his full recovery. Fans are hyped to see him back on the pitch, healthy and officially signed, showing everyone why he’s so crucial to the Giallorossi.
