Now, the 23-year-old is ready to fight for a place in the Champions League with the Giallorossi.

“We want to be there, and we will do everything to do so. It’s our main objective.”

Pellegrini’s €30m release clause has left the Lupi vulnerable to losing their newest ‘bandiere’, but he confirmed that a new deal was on the horizon.

“We haven’t talked about it yet, but I am very calm,” he added. “The only thing that matters is that I’m feeling good. When the time comes, we will sit down.

“We will also talk about removing the clause in the contract…”

Finally, the ex-Sassuolo man praised Alessandro Florenzi for his professionalism, despite the Roma captain losing his place in the starting XI.

“Ale has been living this moment as a champion. He never complained and has always put the team first.”
