Besiktas' €3.5m bid forces Roma's Pellegrini renewal into focus

Besiktas have tabled a three‑year contract worth €3.5 million for Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini, intensifying the race to secure his signature as the 27‑year‑old remains a free agent ahead of his July 13 training camp at Trigoria. The Turkish side hopes to lure the Italian international away from the Giallorossi, while Roma coach Gasperini prepares for potential role changes. Gasperini has asked for Pellegrini's continued stay at Roma, underscoring the midfielder's importance despite the club's plan to bring in two new starters behind Malen. The potential arrival of those players could alter Pellegrini's role within the squad. Pellegrini, currently a free agent, is awaiting a contract renewal with the Giallorossi club. An agreement must be reached in the coming days, and he is slated to join Roma at Trigoria on 13 July for a pre‑season training camp.

Roma's renewal push for Pellegrini: deadline looms as free agent

The Roman midfielder's agent has already held an initial meeting with D’Amico, and both sides are working toward a final deal. The discussions focus on aligning the player's expectations with the club's budget. Besiktas, under manager Vincenzo Italiano, have reportedly tabled a three‑year contract valued at €3.5 million for the Italy international. According to Il Corriere della Sera, the Turkish side's offer exceeds the remuneration Pellegrini would earn by remaining at his childhood club. Roma's tentative offer is said to be around €3 million, structured as a two‑year contract with an option for a third season. This figure is lower than Besiktas's proposal, creating a financial dilemma for the player and his representatives. The gap between supply and demand remains, but Pellegrini has consistently placed Roma ahead of other options. Finalising the contract will depend on the outcome of the ongoing negotiations and the player's performance at the upcoming camp.
