Luca Pellegrini has reiterated his desire to remain at Lazio beyond this season after arriving on loan from Juventus in the last transfer window.
The left-back interrupted his spell in Germany with Eintracht Frankfurt to return to his hometown club after longing for his Bundesliga home.
Juve initially considered him a player who could mature into their first-choice left-back, but Pellegrini hasn’t done well enough to be considered as Alex Sandro’s replacement.
Juve have now agreed a loan-to-own deal with Lazio and the Bianconeri would be happy if the option kicks in at the end of the season.
Speaking about his future, the defender said via Tuttomercatoweb:
“Without a doubt it is everyone’s dream. I found myself playing for Lazio, the team I used to support as a child, and my first goal is to stay here again next year. The selection will be a consequence, so I hope so.
Juve FC says
Pellegrini is a talented player. Unfortunately, his loan spell in Germany was unsuccessful because he needed the exposure of playing in another country.
However, now that he is back in Serie A, we expect him to show his class and prove that a return to the country is right for him.
