Lorenzo Pellegrini

Key strength: Vision and passing

Creative playmaker

In the heart of AS Roma's midfield, Lorenzo Pellegrini continues to orchestrate attacks with the precision of a seasoned maestro. At 29, the Italian attacking midfielder has carved out a vital role in a Roma side sitting 5th in the table—positioned to challenge for European places but needing consistency in the run-in. Despite averaging just 56 minutes per appearance across his 23 outings this season, Pellegrini has maximized his impact with 4 goals and 1 assist from 1,300 minutes of action. His €9 million valuation reflects a player whose true worth lies beyond raw numbers—it's in the vision and passing that unlocks defenses. Operating among higher-profile teammates like Manu Koné (84) and Artem Dovbyk (79), Pellegrini's creative playmaker style provides the tactical flexibility Roma's manager demands. While his 60 rating suggests room for improvement, his 55 passing stat and creative instincts make him the connective tissue between midfield and attack. In a squad loaded with individual talent, Pellegrini's unselfish distribution and spatial awareness remain the quiet engine driving Roma's ambitions forward.
