AC Milan are reportedly in the market for a midfielder, and considering negotiations are likely to take place with AS Roma about Alexis Saelemaekers, Lorenzo Pellegrini could be a player of interest.
Roma are looking to undergo a bit of a transformation, and several players have reportedly been made available. Included in that list was Pellegrini, who has been hit-and-miss for the Roman club this season.
Despite this, Claudio Ranieri has stated that is unlikely that he will leave mid-season, but he has not denied that an exit could occur in a recent interview with ANSA, relayed by Milan News.
“Can Pellegrini leave Roma in January? Everything is possible in the world of football, but I don’t think so. If a team comes he is happy to go… but that goes for everyone. My feeling, however, is that he honestly won’t leave.”
Considering the Giallorissi have already suggested a deal including Bryan Cristante in the deal for Saelemaekers, there is a possibility that the Rossoneri look at Pellegrini instead, especially considering he was previously considered by the club.
The midfielder is strong as a No.10 or even as a deeper midfielder, so he could arrive and challenge for a starting shirt, or provide a strong backup for Tijjani Reijnders.
Lorenzo is a good players he doesn’t suit Ranieri systema, he would be perfect as the 3 man in midfield or as Tijji’s backup and Tijji dearly needs a rest.
Tristante????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yeah sure. One of the worst italian midfielders of Serie A!
One of the worst of all time tbh lol
He’s Italian and lot of experience in serie A but that seems to scare off the management (growth decree reasons?)
Anyway if we did get him, very useful squad player could cover multiple positions. Two thumbs up from me if its actually a real link
