Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly monitoring an Italian international who is nearing the end of his contract, with the potential move said to have the backing of Igor Tudor.
Despite signing Conor Gallagher in January, Spurs are believed to have continued searching for additional creativity in midfield. That pursuit could resume in the summer as the club gears up for a significant squad rebuild.
An experienced Serie A standout, who is set to become a free agent, has now emerged as a possible option for the North London outfit.
Spurs monitoring Lorenzo Pellegrini
According to Calciomercato.it, Tottenham are weighing up a move for the Roma captain, whose contract expires in June. The report notes that the midfielder is at a crucial juncture in his career, with uncertainty surrounding his long-term future at the club.
Spurs have reportedly shown strong interest in the 28-year-old and could make a decisive approach to secure his signature. It is also claimed that Tudor is an admirer of the Italy international, and any potential transfer may depend on whether the Croatian coach is appointed permanently.
Premier League move under consideration
The report further states that Pellegrini is open to leaving Italy and is seriously tempted by the idea of testing himself in the Premier League.
While AS Roma have begun discussions with his representatives over a contract renewal at the Stadio Olimpico, the midfielder is said to be holding off on any commitment as he evaluates his options for the future.
