West Ham Joins Race for Roma Outcast Pellegrini
23 Aug
Summary
- West Ham interested in signing Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini
- Pellegrini stripped of Roma captaincy, contract expires in 2026
- Gasperini says Roma won't extend Pellegrini's contract
According to reports, Premier League club West Ham United are the latest team to express interest in signing Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini. The 28-year-old Italian international has fallen out of favor at the Stadio Olimpico, having been stripped of the captaincy earlier this season.
Pellegrini's future at Roma has been uncertain for some time, with his contract set to expire in June 2026. In a recent press conference, Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini revealed that the club will not extend Pellegrini's deal, effectively confirming the player's impending departure.
This development has sparked interest from several Premier League clubs, including West Ham. The Hammers are now the latest team to join the race for Pellegrini's signature, although they are yet to make a formal offer for the midfielder.
Pellegrini is a product of the Roma academy and has made over 300 senior appearances for the club, scoring 55 goals. However, his current situation at the club suggests that his time in the Italian capital is coming to an end, and a move to the Premier League could be on the cards in the near future.
