Along with Como, fellow Italian clubs Bologna and Fiorentina have also investigated signing 24-year-old Argentinian-Spanish striker Mateo Pellegrino. However, Parma's €30 million valuation is a significant difficulty for Serie A sides, which is reported to give an advantage to Premier League clubs. Newcastle United, Everton, and Brentford have all expressed definite interest in the striker, while Spurs have also been associated with him previously. Parma's CEO, Federico Cherubini, has acknowledged that there are many interested parties but stated the club is not eager to sell. A further consideration in any transfer is that Parma owes a 50% sell-on clause to Pellegrino's former club, Vélez Sarsfield. Pellegrino joined Parma in February 2025, is under contract until 2030, and scored 9 goals with 1 assist in 37 Serie A appearances during the 2025/2026 season.
