Napoli are interested in signing Lorenzo Pellegrini in January.
The Italian midfielder has fallen out of favor at the Giallorossi due to his recent performances and lack of playing time under Claudio Ranieri.
He is now at risk of being pulled out of his boyhood club.
The precariousness of his moments has not gone unnoticed and one of the most attentive clubs is Napoli.
Antonio Conte’s side, fresh off a strong run in Serie A and rejuvenated by an ambitious technical project, have reportedly identified Pellegrini as the right man to strengthen their squad. Corriere dello Sports.
Sporting director Giovanni Manna is intensifying contact with the player in a bid to persuade him to accept the Parthenopei.
However, Napoli do not want to limit themselves to temporary rentals. The club’s idea is to keep the focus on Pellegrini for the long term as well, with the possibility of activating the option and signing him at the end of the season.
Pellegrini is taking time to assess Roma’s plans.
He has no intention of taking on a minor role off the bench, but at the same time wants to be confident in the project that awaits him. In the meantime, he asked close friends, including Spinazzola, Lukaku and Politano, with whom he had shared experiences between national teams and clubs, for information about the Naples environment.
One way or another, a final decision could come within the next week.
