Lorenzo Pellegrini Agrees One-Year Contract Extension with AS Roma

AS Roma and midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini have reached a verbal agreement for a new one-year contract that will keep him at the club until June 2027, confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The formal signing is expected once all documents are reviewed and contracts receive final approval.

Contract Details and Timeline

Pellegrini’s previous contract expired in June 2026, leaving him a free agent. Negotiations for a new deal stretched through the summer with earlier reports pointing to longer terms (potentially until 2028 with options) and a reduced salary around €2.5 million per season plus bonuses. The final agreement settled on a one-year extension through June 2027.

The delay involved multiple factors, including recovery from minor post-season surgery and the need for final club approval. Manager Gian Piero Gasperini had pushed to retain key senior players, including Pellegrini, after guiding Roma to third place in Serie A and a return to the Champions League.
