Set to expire in 2026, he could leave the Capital in July.

The goal in the derby seemed like it could be the most classic of sliding doors with Pellegrini returning to the starting line-up. This victory over Lazio was handed to the fans and the club. Over time, however, it turned out to be merely a painkiller, not treating Pellegrini’s ‘pain’ but merely easing it. As reported by Dario Marchetti in Tuttosport, Ranieri’s decisions have sent a clear message, since the yellow-red captain was left out of the starting eleven against Napoli and then again at San Siro with Milan. “He is not your typical Roman, he is not the type to let problems just slide off his back”. So, the issue entirely resides in Lorenzo’s head, although it then spills over into his footwork or decisions on the field. This is proven by the slim spoils he has so far reaped: a mere two goals and one assist in 18 league games. In short, he’s not the player that Rome remembers, nor the one Ranieri used to praise. Meanwhile, the gap between the player and the club owners is also growing. Even though the Roma captain has repeatedly denied contemplating leaving the city, the club itself has yet to take a public stance. The contract of which is set to expire on June 30, 2026. The upcoming summer will bring guidance, and we cannot rule out a possible departure. You haven’t provided any text for me to translate. Please provide a text.
