Attributed to original sourceRoma have officially signed Lorenzo Pellegrini to a new contract to June 2027, several weeks after his previous deal had already expired.

(Photo by Silvia Lore/Getty Images) Although his contract was allowed to run down on June 30, making him a free agent, he was always in negotiations with the club to pen a new deal, and that was announced this afternoon.
It was described in the statement as a contract ‘extension,’ but that is not entirely accurate, as his previous agreement had already expired.
The same situation developed with Paulo Dybala, and was meant to be done for Zeki Celik, except the defender instead joined Juventus as a free agent.
Pellegrini too had been linked with a possible move to Juventus and approached by Besiktas, but he remained committed to the Giallorossi.
The Corriere dello Sport claims his salary is worth €2.5m per season plus performance-related bonuses, similar to the one Dybala sealed.
