Ranieri and Gasperini get into it over Pellegrini’s future: the coach wants to keep the midfielder

In April, such a scenario seemed highly unlikely.

Yet today, Roma finds itself in the midst of a turbulent period that has been building step by step: first the heavy defeat against Inter, then the heated debate between Claudio Ranieri and Gian Piero Gasperini.

The feeling is increasingly clear: in the end, only one of the two men could remain.

Yet Gasperini, at least so far, has never given any signs of wanting to leave. Indeed, the idea is to move forward with the project, but with some very specific conditions.

Among the key points outlined by the coach is Lorenzo Pellegrini.

According to La Repubblica, the renewal of the No. 7’s contract is one of the key demands for the club to continue their journey in Rome. This is a clear signal: Pellegrini is considered a key player.

The problem, however, is far from simple to resolve. The club has reportedly put a clear proposal on the table: a renewal, yes, but with a reduced salary, going from approximately €6 million to €3 million per season.

Now the choice is up to the player, who must decide whether to accept the new conditions and remain central to the project or explore other options.
