The future of Lorenzo Pellegrini hangs in the balance and even the golden-red coach does not exclude his possible departure in January.
2025 is approaching and in two days Roma will be involved in a major match against Milan at San Siro. Claudio Ranieri, who unlike Fonseca will have almost everyone available (Cristante still out with an ankle problem), has spoken about Sunday night’s game. During the usual press conference in Trigoria: “Pellegrini has all my trust, if offers come in we will evaluate them like for everyone else,” stated Claudio Ranieri, manager of AS Roma. His remarks have set tongues wagging, presenting a particularly sensational development in the world of professional football. “I hope he stays, but he must also be happy, it’s the most important thing,” said the yellow and red coach. He then answered the question about the futures of Dybala, Hummels, and Paredes, confirming his desire to keep them next year when he will be in charge: “Definitely yes, no beating around the bush”. And he concluded speaking about Saelemaekers, currently on loan from Milan: “Usually when you play, you talk little with the opponent. He has acclimatized well, he’s one who we want to keep. “There’s an issue with Abraham currently at Milan. Let’s see how things will unfold.” Meanwhile, the open-door training at Tre Fontane on January 1st was a sold out within minutes. A gift as surprising as it is special was offered by Roma to its own fans. The news is buzzing as the reservation for Roma’s open-door training begins. A whopping 5,000 fans are already lined up, eagerly awaiting their chance to witness firsthand the team’s first training session of the year at Tre Fontane. This striking spectacle embodies the essence of undying support and excitement woven into the very fabric of football! Admission is free and within a handful of minutes, there were already 10,000 people in line despite only 2800 seats being available. Moving towards Milan-Roma: Cristante is out. “He has not yet overcome the ankle injury sustained against Atalanta. The news comes just two days before AS Roma is set to face Milan, with Cristante being the only player unable to take the field.” Ranieri also discussed his recovery at a press conference: “Everyone has recovered except Cristante. I read that there were some criticisms of our doctors, who instead did what the report told us. “We have reprimanded those who needed to be reprimanded and have taken defensive measures.” In other news, for Milan, Christian Pulisic’s participation is in doubt. I’m sorry, but there isn’t any text for me to translate in your request. The American winger today trained separately due to a calf problem and is at risk of missing out. Jovic and Bennacer have recovered and will be on the bench. No availing for Musah, Loftus-Cheek, and Leao. A crisis emerges for Fonseca who risks potentially having to do without the former Chelsea player. The final decision will be made tomorrow after the final touches. As for the market, Giacomo Raspadori is set to leave Napoli. “On him, there is not only interest from Roma and Juventus. Atalanta is also eyeing Raspadori and preparing a hefty bid of 25 million euros.” Atalanta too has set sights on Napoli’s striker. The Black-and-blues are prepared to put forth a hefty sum of 25 million euros, but this is not the only name on their list. Meanwhile, the trail leading to a swap between Pellegrini and Raspadori remains active. The future of the Giallorossi’s captain is in the balance.
