Roma have reportedly set their sights on Nicolo Casale, setting up a possible Derby della Capitale with Lazio for the defender’s signature.
The Biancocelesti were incredibly keen to pick up the 24-year-old Italian defender in the January transfer window but they failed to pull off a deal due to limitations imposed by the liquidity index.
Their interest has not died down however, and they are planning to return in the summer.

As reported by Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport (via LazioNews24), Roma are keen to pick up Casale in the summer and they are set to provide serious competition to Lazio.
The Giallorossi have a great relationship with Hellas Verona and another deal between them could be on the cards, similar to the one that saw Marash Kumbulla move down to the Italian capital two years ago.

Casale has made 28 Serie A appearances so far this season, for a total of 1925 minutes. In that time, he has provided two assists and helped the side keep three clean sheets.
