According to the news, the owner of Ineos Grenadiers, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, would be willing to pay any price equivalent to the fine for breaking the athlete’s contract that would last until 2025, to acquire the professional for his team.

Previously, when he was participating in the Vuelta a Espana, speculation began to arise that Primoz Roglic was not completely satisfied with his team and that he could soon make a change. Asked about the possibility, the athlete stated that if it occurred, it could be positive measures meaning a good performance in his career.
Should he sign a new contract with Ineos Grenadiers, the cyclist would become one of the most potent members with the opportunity to lead his team. However, Primoz Roglic has not yet taken a position on the information, and could go against the rumors and be inserted into Movistar, Bahrain Victorious or Lidl-Trek. There are chances that the announcement will take place before October 1st.
While no information is confirmed, Primoz Roglic remains with his full schedule for the end of the season competing in the three Italian classics, Giro dell’Emilia, Tre Valli Varesine and II Lombardia.
