Napoli will have a specific focus on Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini during todayโs critical Serie A match between the two clubs, with the midfielder marked as a special observer, according to Calciomercato.
The Partenopei are actively seeking to reinforce their midfield, especially given recent injuries to key players like Kevin De Bruyne, Billy Gilmour and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa. Pellegriniโs contract situation at Roma is seen as a potential opportunity, as his deal expires in 2026 and renewal talks have stalled, leading to speculation about his future.
Napoli has been monitoring the 29-year-old Italian international for some time. Todayโs high-stakes match provides a perfect opportunity for the club to closely assess Pellegriniโs current form, leadership qualities, and overall fit for Conteโs tactical vision, particularly in a pressurized derby atmosphere.
The interest from the reigning Serie A champions means that Pellegriniโs performance on the pitch will not only be crucial for Romaโs push for the Scudetto but could also directly influence his trajectory in the upcoming January transfer market.
