Manchester City and Chelsea are keeping tabs on Sassuolo midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini, who is also attracting interest from Inter Milan and Juventus.

A product of the Roma academy, Sassuolo signed him in the summer of 2015 and the midfielder has gone from strength to strength at the Mapei Stadium-Citta del Tricolore.




Roma have an option to re-sign him for a fee of €10m, which they are expected to exercise at the end of the season, but they would still have to agree a deal with the player and hope that Pellegrini is not tempted by other clubs in the summer.

Juventus already have the player on their radar and even Inter Milan are interested in signing Pellegrini in the summer; it has been claimed that he is also attracting interest from English clubs.
 


According to Corriere dello Sport, Manchester City and Chelsea have watched the player in action several times this season and are plotting to sign him during the summer.
