“West Ham’s SHOCKING Mega-Deal to Snag Roma’s SUPERSTAR Will Leave You SPEECHLESS!”

Real Betis, Valencia, Gremio, Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce are among the clubs showing interest in Rodriguez, who is no longer in Graham Potter’s plans at West Ham.

A departure for the midfielder appears likely in the coming weeks, and his exit could pave the way for a significant incoming transfer.

According to Roma News (10 August), the Hammers are eyeing Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini as a potential addition.

The Italy international, open to the move, would reportedly sign a three-year deal worth around £115,000 per week if he joins the London Stadium outfit this summer.

However, any deal is believed to hinge on Rodriguez’s departure.

Pellegrini’s arrival could prove transformative for West Ham. The 29-year-old offers creativity, versatility and top-level experience, making him a valuable asset to Potter’s squad.

Comfortable as both an attacking midfielder and in deeper roles, he would bring tactical flexibility to complement West Ham’s dynamic style.

Praised by Ivan Juric for his exceptional movement—described as “moving like a god”—Pellegrini’s vision and precise passing can unlock stubborn defences, an asset the Hammers will need following Mohammed Kudus’ move to Tottenham.

His leadership qualities, honed as Roma’s captain and reinforced by his 36 caps for Italy, ensure he can handle the pace and intensity of Premier League football.

With his contract at Roma expiring next summer, Pellegrini represents a cost-effective signing, freeing up resources for West Ham to strengthen in other areas.

His apparent readiness for a new challenge suggests strong motivation, aligning with the club’s ambition to secure a top-half finish.

For West Ham, moving for Pellegrini now makes strategic sense. He fits Potter’s system perfectly, offers immediate quality and leadership, and could be the catalyst for meeting their objectives in the upcoming campaign.
