Report – Inter Milan Plot Audacious January Bid For Wantaway Roma Captain | OneFootball

Serie A champions Inter Milan are assessing the prospect of launching a winter bid for outgoing Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 28-year-old is one step away from severing his eight-year stint in Rome.

Despite wearing the captain’s armband, Pellegrini is ready to wave goodbye to boyhood club.

Indeed, he has fallen out of favor with new manager Claudio Ranieri.

Therefore, the former UEFA Europa League winners have informed their long-serving playmaker to start searching for a new club.

Pellegrini has reportedly instructed his entourage to find him a new team in the Premier League.

However, there’s a decent chance he could stay in Serie A.

Inter Milan Contemplate Winter Bid for Roma Castaway Lorenzo Pellegrini

Napoli boss Antonio Conte has been one of Pellegrini’s long-term admirers.

As such, Stadio Diego Armando Maradona has emerged as a potential destination for the ex-Sassuolo midfielder.

However, Inter could spoil Napoli’s plans.

Beppe Marotta is always attentive to market opportunities, and Pellegrini could be his latest coup.

Indeed, he has already signed Hakan Calhanoglu, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and Piotr Zielinski on Bosman deals.

Pellegrini wouldn’t arrive on a free transfer.

But given the circumstances, it stands to reason he’ll be available on favorable terms.
