Pellegrini turns down Juventus and Besiktas for Roma

Pellegrini turns down Juventus and Besiktas for Roma Lorenzo Pellegrini chose Roma despite the various options that had arisen in recent months. The Giallorossi midfielder decided not to consider offers from both Italy and abroad, prioritizing staying in the capital and renewing his contract with the club. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Besiktas had come knocking on the number 7’s door, while Juventus had also made several inquiries with his entourage. There was also interest from England, with Brighton among the clubs that had come forward to assess the player’s availability. Pellegrini, however, has never actually considered leaving Roma. The midfielder has always wanted to continue wearing the Giallorossi jersey, even if it meant giving up more advantageous financial conditions. The 1996-born player has indeed accepted the idea of ​​a one-season renewal and a significant salary reduction. The new deal is expected to start at around €2.5 million plus bonuses, compared to the approximately €6.5 million he earned last season. This decision confirms the strong bond between Pellegrini and Roma. Faced with the offers he received, the number 7 preferred to stay in the capital and continue his career with the Giallorossi, putting financial considerations on the back burner.
