Official: Juventus’ Pellegrini joins Eintracht Frankfurt on loan

Luca Pellegrini has officially joined Eintracht Frankfurt on a season-long loan deal from Juventus.

The 23-year-old Italian full back broke into the Bianconeri first team last season under Massimiliano Allegri, finally donning the club’s shirt in Serie A for the first time since his arrival in July 2019. He made 21 appearances last campaign, struggling to displace Alex Sandro in the starting lineup.

As announced by Juventus, Pellegrini has now left Turin to join Eintracht Frankfurt on a year-long loan deal. The Bundesliga side are bringing him in as a short-term replacement for Filip Kostic, who just left Germany for the North East of Italy.

Since joining the Bianconeri in the summer of 2019, the Italian full back has spent time on loan with Cagliari and Genoa, impressing when given consistent minutes. He’ll be hoping to continue his development and add some new layers to his game in the Bundesliga.
