Calciomercato.com reports how Pellegri was plagued by injury problems in the first half of the season meaning he has failed to play consistently or even score a goal in the six appearances he has collected. The solution could be an early termination of his season-long loan in order to go elsewhere, with Torino and Genoa having been informed about his situation.
However, there is an obstacle: Pellegri is in fact at Milan on a paid loan with an option to buy. The loan fee is €1m and the option to buy is €6m, and the only way that the Rossoneri can therefore move him on in January is to pay the option and permanently sign him before loaning him back out.
It seems a complicated solution at the moment, but the management are working at Casa Milan to try and find the right solutions.
