Tottenham Hotspur will reportedly look to sign 29-year-old Italian international and former AS Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini in a Bosman move this summer.
According to a report by Italian outlet Calciomercato, Lorenzo Pellegrini is the subject of interest of Tottenham Hotspur. The Lilywhites are keen on bolstering their first-team squad by signing a versatile midfielder in the summer transfer window. So, the 29-year-old former AS Roma captain has emerged as a target for the North London outfit.
The latest report has revealed that the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League winners are ready to “launch a decisive attack” in the summer transfer window. While AS Roma would like to tie Pellegrini to a new contract, the player’s entourage is “stalling and waiting to see how the negotiations unfold” in the coming weeks.
Lorenzo Pellegrini and his situation
Lorenzo Pellegrini may embark on a new adventure in the summer transfer window after entering the final six months of his contract with AS Roma. The 29-year-old has gradually grown in stature under Gian Piero Gasperini after the Serie A outfit stripped him of the club captaincy ahead of the 2025/26 season.
The Italian international has managed nearly 1,500 minutes of game time across 24 appearances thus far in the 2025/26 season, chipping in with four goals and one assist. However, the Italian midfielder’s long-term future at AS Roma is uncertain, and a move abroad may be on the cards. Premier League outfits, in particular, are keen, with Tottenham Hotspur among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.
London calling?
Lorenzo Pellegrini has been on Tottenham Hotspur’s radar for a long time, and the North London club briefly mulled over signing him in the summer transfer window. While a summer move did not materialise, the continued interest makes sense, as it is unclear if Joao Palhinha will complete a permanent move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after the 2025/26 season ends.
Additionally, Yves Bissouma may have no future at Tottenham. So, the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League winners need a new midfielder heading into the summer transfer window, with Pellegrini emerging as a viable target. The latest report has revealed that the North London giants are ready to “launch a decisive attack” in the summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, AS Roma would like to tie Pellegrini to a new contract. However, the player’s entourage is “stalling and waiting to see how the negotiations unfold” in the coming weeks. So, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the 29-year-old Italian international.
