Roma sporting director Florent Ghisolfi has been in Milan to negotiate the future of players Nicola Zalewski and Lorenzo Pellegrini with Inter. Ghisolfi is working on finalizing a deal to keep Zalewski at Inter permanently, with a buy option set at 6 million. There are also discussions about the potential transfer of Pellegrini, as Inter is considering the midfielder as a possible successor to Mkhitaryan, who is nearing retirement.
Inter's interest in Pellegrini comes as the Roma captain has not yet discussed a contract renewal, prompting speculation that he could be sold this summer to maximize the transfer fee before his contract expires in 2026. Meanwhile, Roma is monitoring Carlo Ancelotti's situation at Real Madrid and preparing for their upcoming match against Hellas Verona, with Shomurodov expected to start. Spain has officially announced that five teams will have access to the Champions League, adding to the ongoing developments in the world of football.
