Town and Hull City Linked With Lazio Full-Back
Monday, 6th Jul 2026 19:04

Town and Hull City are reported to be among the clubs eyeing left-back Luca Pellegrini, who is set to leave Lazio this summer.

According to la Repubblica, Pelligrini, 27, will move on from the Rome-based club this summer after three seasons and is looking to move abroad.

In England, the Blues and Tigers are said to be keen, while in Spain Deportivo La Coruna and Espanyol are reportedly interested. Serie A Como were previously understood to be a suitor but are now believed to have moved on.

Pelligrini, who is contracted until the summer of 2027, started his career at hometown club AS Roma, spending time on loan at Cagliari before joining Juventus in 2019.

Further loan spells back at Cagliari, Genoa and then Eintracht Frankfurt followed, before he joined Lazio on loan in January 2023.

A further two-year loan followed with an obligation to buy having been triggered last summer.

Pelligrini has won one full Italian cap in a friendly in 2020, in addition to games at U16, U17, U18, U19, U20 and U21 levels.

Town, whose squad returned to pre-season training today, are certain to be on the lookout for another left-back to compete with Leif Davis this summer with Conor Townsend having been released at the end of the season.

Saxonblue74 added 19:18 - Jul 6 Just as we were "reported" to be in for Alexsandro? Is there any substance to any of these rumours? Feels like slow news groundhog day whilst the world cup is on.

Monkey_Blue added 19:29 - Jul 6 We will be looking at the same Players as Hull and coventry all summer and also sometimes wrongly claimed to be looking at the same players.

I think the people who initially spout this stuff must have two big buckets. One containing players names who could even just conceivably be linked with a move anywhere this summer. And another containing the name of clubs who even just conceivably could be linked with an interest. Then they draw both out blind. They will hit the bullseye once in a while due to sheer weight of numbers. The great majority of the time it's just rubbish. By the way, not blaming Phil & Co for posting these, he's just doing what the site was set up for.

boysof1981 added 20:13 - Jul 6 A look t of this just seems lazy journalism and agents for some bizarre reason using us and Hull. Be amazed if we or hull sign any of them

norfsufblue added 09:18 - Jul 7 We are looking at every Tom , Dick or Harry because thats exactly what we should be doing. We are not the only club looking for players as it happens. Most of the links are outside noise and we all know what actually matters is who we end up with.If you dont like speculation and links to everyone its going to be a long summer!

Woodbridgian added 09:43 - Jul 7 It’s good we seem to be spreading our player recruitment much wider than previously equally I’m sure so much of this is just rumour and I’ll only get interested when it’s confirmed we’ve actually signed someone

JewellintheTown added 12:39 - Jul 7 Looks an interesting player for the right price. His shooting doesnt look as good as Leifs, but he offers an alternative and looks like he's happy to drive forward and track back. Looks a little stronger than Leif in defence but less so up front.
