Arsenal are said to be in competition with Inter Milan and Napoli to secure the transfer of 28-year-old Italian international Lorenzo Pellegrini from AS Roma.
Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Lorenzo Pellegrini from AS Roma during this winter transfer window. The 28-year-old Italian international has caught the attention of several top clubs, including Inter Milan and Napoli, making this a highly competitive pursuit.
Since joining AS Roma from Sassuolo in 2017, Pellegrini has become a key player for the Giallorossi. He has made over 300 appearances for the club, scoring 55 goals and providing 58 assists. Known for his versatility and leadership qualities, Pellegrini has also served as the club captain since Edin Dzeko’s departure.
Arsenal’s interest in Pellegrini makes sense, especially considering the potential departures of midfielders Thomas Partey and Jorginho, whose contracts expire this summer. Pellegrini’s creative abilities and experience would make him an attractive option to strengthen Arsenal’s midfield.
According to La Repubblica, via Roma Press, the Gunners have been listed as a potential suitor for the Italy international.
However, Arsenal faces stiff competition from Serie A giants Inter Milan and Napoli, both of whom are also keen on signing Pellegrini. Inter Milan is reportedly considering offering Davide Frattesi in a potential deal to secure Pellegrini’s signature.
Arsenal’s pursuit of the talented midfielder highlights their ambition to strengthen the squad and compete at the highest level. Whether Arsenal can secure his services remains to be seen, but Pellegrini’s potential arrival would undoubtedly be a significant boost for the Gunners.
