According to reports in the Italian media, Lorenzo Pellegrini is linked with a move to Elland Road. Roma has a very clear need to offload the player.

Lorenzo Pellegrini has barely featured for Roma this season, with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini not counting on him. According to TEAMtalk, via Leeds United News, it has been decided that Pellegrini will be allowed to leave in January. Leeds will feel that they have a good opportunity to convince the player to join them in January, given his situation.

According to a recent report from AS Roma Live, Leeds have added Pellegrini to their shortlist, and there is a strong chance that he will leave Roma in 2026. The club's sporting director Ricky Massara and coach Gasperini explicitly told the media that the club’s view was to sell the 29-year-old. Pellegrini was previously advised by Gasperini in the summer that leaving Roma would help his chances of getting game time before the World Cup, and he could reassess his future in January. He would likely be available for a cut-price fee.

Lorenzo Pellegrini has caught the attention of several Premier League clubs, like Leeds, following his comeback from a significant injury. AS Roma is willing to entertain offers in the range of 10 to 15 million euros. Pellegrini's representatives are attempting to persuade the club's manager, Gian Piero Gasperini, to keep him on the team. Meanwhile, Pellegrini is contemplating remaining at AS Roma, as he seeks guarantees about his role, particularly with the approaching 2026 World Cup and a new national team coach, Gennaro Gattuso. His contract with AS Roma is valid until June 2026, and West Ham and Brighton have also shown interest, having made inquiries about him. Despite this interest, his future at Roma is uncertain as the club appears hesitant to renew his contract. During a press conference, Gasperini suggested that Pellegrini might leave, noting that although Pellegrini needs to play to secure his place in the national team, reaching a satisfactory agreement for everyone involved is challenging, leaving the situation unresolved.
