Barcelona make offer to Lorenzo Pellegrini - report

FC Barcelona have made an offer to AS Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini, according to a new report. After Georginio Wijnaldum’s decision to join Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona are still looking for a midfielder.

With Riqui Puig and Miralem Pjaniu0107 failing to gain the trust of manager Ronald Koeman, Barcelona are a little light in terms of experienced midfielders.

Sergio Busquets is also 32 and not likely to play as often as he did in his prime.

Pellegrini’s contract expires next year and has reportedly chosen not to extend it, meaning Roma are forced to sell him this summer or face losing him for free soon after.
