Luigi Cherubini to join Benevento on loan from AS Roma

Luigi Cherubini, a 2004-born midfielder, is set to join Benevento on a loan deal with an option to buy. Before the move, the player will sign a contract extension with AS Roma, reportedly extending his stay until 2029.

The transfer follows a strategic approach by Roma to protect their investment in the young talent. The deal includes an obligation to purchase if Benevento achieves promotion to Serie A. The move was reportedly facilitated by the contract renewal of Lorenzo Pellegrini, which allowed Roma to release Cherubini to work under manager Antonio Floro Flores at Benevento.

Cherubini is expected to undergo medical examinations in Italy following Roma's tour in Wales. He is viewed as a versatile player capable of playing as both a winger and a central attacking midfielder.
