Alessio Romagnoli has reportedly agreed to join Lazio on a free transfer this summer after his contract expires with Milan.
As reported by Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla earlier today, the Biancocelesti have been in direct and indirect talks with the 27-year-old Italian defender for some time now, and it is likely that they have even had a detailed meeting about the move.
Romagnoli wants to fulfill his childhood dream and so he has reportedly agreed to join Lazio on a free transfer this summer. His salary would be more or less the same as Sergej Milinkovic-Savic‘s, around €3 million net per season plus add-ons; the Italian centre-back currently earns €5.5 million net per season and Milan’s offer of €2.8 million net has disappointed him.

The Biancocelesti have not yet agreed to a contract renewal with Luiz Felipe and Patric’s contract is also expiring in the summer, so it is clear that some defensive reinforcements will be needed.
Romagnoli’s agent Mino Raiola has also reportedly been in talks with Juventus, but so far nothing concrete has come of these talks, with the Bianconeri being a little unconvinced on pulling the trigger to sign the player.
