Lazio have drawn up a new offer for Juventus left back Luca Pellegrini following a recent round of talks.
The 24-year-old Italian joined the Biancocelesti on a six-month loan deal with a €15 million buy option attached back in the January transfer window, adding some more depth to Maurizio Sarri’s squad.
Pellegrini failed to make a notable splash during his half-season with Lazio, only seeing 174 minutes of action across seven Serie A appearances. Despite this, the club are keen to retain him for another season.
As reported by Alfredo Pedulla (via LazioNews24), Lazio have prepared a new offer for Pellegrini, a loan deal with an €8 million conditional obligation to buy clause attached, linked to qualifying for a European competition.
Juventus are reportedly targeting Empoli left back Fabiano Parisi, so agreeing a deal with the Biancocelesti has two bonuses – it takes away one competitor for Parisi and frees up a little space in their squad.
Altough I’d orefer Parisi from simple footballing terms he will cost more and Luca has more room for improvement. I think he will give a lot more to Lazio then in the six months he had and with 8mill rather then 15 it’s a no brainer for us. Juve will win too because other clubs don’t seem interested with obligations attached so this way they have something sure too. They would like their squad complete for Continassa as much as we do for Auronzo.
