"Roma" club defeated "Bologna" in the first match of the season with a score of 1:0.

After the match, head coach Gian Piero Gasperini and Frederico Massara commented on Lorenzo Pellegrini's future and Jadon Sancho's unwillingness to move to Rome:

"L. Pellegrini will leave the team, it is certain that this will happen this summer or winter.

We will not extend the contract with the Italian, and we are looking for a solution so that we do not lose the midfielder as a free agent."

"There are no changes regarding J. Sancho's situation. Especially since the Englishman does not want to transfer to the Roman team."

29-year-old Lorenzo Pellegrini has played for "Roma" since 2017 and scored 55 goals in 315 matches.

In the previous season, the midfielder scored 3 times in 34 matches.
