“Everything will be done on Friday, we’ll make it official and there will be a Press conference. We’ll have a chance there to say everything.

“I don’t know if there’s a release clause in the contract, because I was just focused on playing and my agent took care of the rest.”

This will be a reunion with Coach Eusebio Di Francesco, who also left Sassuolo for Roma this summer.

“We haven’t had a chance to talk yet, we’ll do all of that on Friday.”

Pellegrini scored eight goals with eight assists in 34 competitive games for Sassuolo this season.
