Lazio supremo Claudio Lotito has commented on the transfer of Luca Pellegrini from Juventus to the club in the latest transfer window.
The defender had been on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt in the first half of the season, but he felt homesick.
When Lazio showed interest in his signing, he immediately wanted to return to Rome, his hometown.
Eventually, the team from the Stadio Olimpico was brought back to the country.
Pellegrini was born in Rome and wanted to return to his city so badly that it seemed to impress Lotito. While speaking about the move, he said via Tuttomercatoweb:
“He is a European player, who really wanted to come to Lazio because it is his favorite team. He is an important reinforcement that the company has made available to Maurizio Sarri ”.
Juve FC says
The most important thing is that Pellegrini plays, and since he had a hard time adjusting to life in Germany, he had to come back.
Hopefully he will show his best form and make the Biancocelesti include him permanently in their squad at the end of the season.
If he fails there, he would have to deal with another loan spell away from Juve at the end of the campaign because it means he’s not good enough for the black and white either.
