"Pellegrini, who was previously linked with a summer move to West Ham, has barely featured for Roma this season, with new head coach Gian Piero Gasperini not counting on his captain. And because of this, it has been decided that he will be allowed to leave in January, as reported by TEAMtalk (via Leeds United News). Pellegrini was not included in the Italy squad for their 2026 World Cup qualifiers in September,"
"Leeds will feel that they have a good opportunity to convince Pellegrini to join them in January, given his situation. If he were to arrive at Elland Road, the likelihood is that he would be a regular starter for Farke, given that he has a lot of experience playing at the top level of European football, while his quality is also more than good enough to see him play often in the Premier League."
Leeds United are likely to pursue transfer activity in January to improve their chances of staying in the Premier League. The squad lacks a proven natural attacking midfielder beyond Brenden Aaronson, who has struggled for form. Lorenzo Pellegrini has barely featured for Roma under Gian Piero Gasperini and has been told he may leave in January. Pellegrini missed Italy selection for 2026 World Cup qualifiers and needs regular game time to regain international contention. Leeds view his situation as an opportunity to recruit an experienced, top-level midfielder who would likely start under Daniel Farke.
