Director Rome: Will not renew the contract with Pellegrini, and the conditions for signing Sancho have not yet been met
In the first game of Roma's new season, the Olympics home court was filled with fans
The reactions of the Roma fans were as always: passionate, enthusiastic, support the team, and push the team towards a new goal. These are really wonderful.
coach Gasperini revealed before the game that Roma's club has decided not to renew his contract with captain Pellegrini, and his contract will expire next summer
Gasperini does not mean that Pellegrini has withdrawn from Roma's project, but has expressed our position. I had already talked to Pellegrini and his agent when I returned to Rome two months ago and we were sure we would not renew the contract, which was a common choice. Because of this, in order not to lose players for free, we are evaluating the possibilities to see if there will be a (transfer) opportunity for both the club and the players, and that is also Pellegrini's wishes. There are still 10 days left in the summer transfer period, and there is also a winter transfer period in January. If there is no transfer next time, Pellegrini will remain a Roma player, a strong player with an attachment to Roma, and he will always be ready to make a reliable contribution to the team.
Rome has been trying to introduce Sancho before, how is it now?
Sancho is a strong player and all Serie A strong teams have come into contact with him. He is definitely a high-level player, but it is still just a suggestion for the moment, as it seems to me that the conditions for signing him have not been met, especially the lack of motivation to continue negotiations.
Rome is still restricted by the rules of fiscal fair competition?
The rules of financial fair competition are subject to all clubs. You must achieve financial balance and every club must do it. But this does not mean that Roma does not want to strengthen the lineup. In fact, we have already spent a lot of money on signing and strengthening in recent years.
Do you still need an experienced player to join the team?
We know that there is still need to sign, and we want to do it according to our predetermined goals. On the other hand, the arrival of coach Gasperini has also enhanced the team's value and competitiveness. The coach is excellent and has done extraordinary things in the club he coached before. We hope he can do this again in Rome and do it with a group of young players.
Will Dovbik leave Rome?
He is a center in Rome, just like Ferguson. All teams that want to compete in various competitions must have a strong lineup and strong forward staffing, and so does Roma. What is the relationship between the
club and the agent?
Now brokers are key players in the transfer market and we have to deal with them. So far, it seems difficult to change this status quo, and as the rules change, they have gained huge specific rights, and in some cases even being able to limit negotiations and lead to negative or positive outcomes in negotiations.
