New left-back: 3 Players to replace Rodriguez

AC Milan are in search of a new left-back that can replace Ricardo Rodruguez, perhaps permanently. The Rossoneri are considering 3 names.

LUCA PELLEGRINI – ROMA

The last name on Maldini’s list is Luca Pellegrini. The Italian left-back has had a similar journey with Marc Cucurella.

Luca Pellegrini made only 4 appearances with Roma at the beginning of the season and was loaned to Cagliari in January. Some great appearances with the Sardinian club were enough to attract the attention of AC Milan.

In the second half of the season Pellegrini made 16 appearances and, together with Barella, was one of Cagliari’s most important players. Unlike Eibar, Cagliari didn’t have a signing option and Pellegrini returned to Roma.

The Italy U-21 international has a contract with Roma until 2022 but his agent, Mino Raiola, is already on the move to find a new club for his client that can guarantee him more minutes.

Raiola has offered Pellegrini to Juventus but the player could also stay in the capital to play his chances. Roma currently value the 20-year-old at around 10 million euros.
