Tottenham Hotspur's interest in midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini is causing concern for Roma, who know 'time is running out' to renew his contract.
Roma Giallo Rossa covers the 29-year-old today. The Italian outlet published a report earlier this week stating that Tottenham have shown an interest in Pellegrini.
Sport Witness covered that report from Italy two days ago. It revealed that Tottenham were showing a keen interest in the midfielder. He was reportedly recommended by his interim coach Igor Tudor.
The assumption was that he is on Tottenham's list for the summer as they keep an eye on free agents. Much of this was linked to Tudor, who could have pressed for a deal if the end of the season was put in place.
Tottenham's interest in Pellegrini
However, Tottenham's interest in Pellegrini is nothing new. Actually, back in August, Sport Witness covered the possibility of Spurs beating West Ham in their signing.
Roma Giallo Rossa has now added its information, stating that Pellegrini's 'marriage' to Roma appears to be nearing its end. Renewal of his deal is 'still a way off' and no deal is in sight.
The possibility of him becoming a free agent in the summer is becoming a 'reality'. Roma's management is worried about this and now it has to take a decision. Either they hurry up for renewal or bid farewell to 'one of the symbols of recent seasons'.

If it's the latter then Tottenham are set to capture him. Tudor greatly respects Pellegrini and considers him an 'ideal candidate' to strengthen his midfield.
However, Tottenham will have to give him a long-term deal before he can make an impact on their transfer strategy.
Meanwhile, Roma is watching and pondering. The Italian side knows that 'time is running out' to resolve the situation. The pressure on him has not been easy to handle due to interest from Spurs.
