Hull City are reportedly interested in Lazio left-back Luca Pellegrini as they bolster their squad for the upcoming Premier League season. The 27-year-old defender, who has been a childhood supporter of Lazio, joined the club in January 2023 on loan from Juventus. Despite securing a starting position under Maurizio Sarri for several months, Pellegrini has recently lost his place in the lineup to Nuno Tavares, making his future at Lazio uncertain. With Lazio set to welcome Alfonso Pedraza from Villarreal next summer, Pellegrini is expected to be surplus to requirements. Hull City has made initial contact with Pellegrini's representatives, indicating their serious interest in signing him. The Tigers finished 6th in the Championship last season and achieved promotion to the Premier League after a dramatic playoff victory over Middlesbrough. However, Hull City will face competition for Pellegrini's signature from Serie A clubs, particularly Como, who are also looking to strengthen their left-back position. With Pellegrini's contract expiring in a year, he could be available at a reasonable price, making him an attractive option for Hull City as they prepare for their return to the top flight.
