Juventus are prepared to pay the release clause of Manchester United and Arsenal midfield target Lorenzo Pellegrini this summer.
The 21-year-old Italian midfielder’s future at Roma is under the scanner in the ongoing window because of interest from some of heavyweights of European football.
Manchester United have identified him as a potential second midfield signing this summer and Arsenal are keen to take him to England as they seek a fresh start under Unai Emery.
However, Roma are facing the maximum risk of losing their player to Serie A rivals Juventus, who were closely monitoring the midfielder’s progress last season.
And according to Italian daily Corriere della Sera, Juventus are ready to trigger the release in his contract, which is believed to be around the €30m mark.

But Roma could take heart from the fact that the midfielder is still angling towards continuing at the Stadio Olimpico and is not yet considering a summer switch.
His agent is expected to meet the Roma hierarchy soon, where discussions over a new contract are expected to take place and the player is expected to receive a considerable hike in his wages.
Roma are also set to push for a new contract in order to raise or eliminate the problematic release clause in Pellegrini’s contract.
