Manchester United are preparing a January bid for AS Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini, according to Corriere della Sport.
The 22-year-old would be a cut-price addition to Jose Mourinho’s squad, due to a release clause of only £26m. The report suggests Roma are keen to offer Pellegrini a new deal to ward off interest from United and other suitors.
United will promise to double the youngsters’ current £17k per week wages as an incentive to clinch his signature.
Pellegrini has creative flair with great technical ability. Good with both feet, he particularly likes to shift the ball quickly in tight situations.
