Speaking to Calciomercato.com, Moro first explained why he decided to join Ternana on loan this summer.

I wanted to stay in Italy to stay on Lazio’s radar, here I am close to Rome and Ternana’s 4-3-3 is perfect for my characteristics.

He confirmed that he still keeps a close eye on Lazio.

Of course, I watch them all the time. In Rome there’s my sister who studies at the Foro Italico University, when I go to visit her I also manage to go to the stadium.

The Spanish teenager reflected on his Serie A debut against Juventus in July 2020.

The debut at the first call-up, at 17 years old, I couldn’t believe it. I had started the season with the Primavera team, then the leagues stopped because of COVID and it was difficult for me to train in a small flat.

He reflected on his limited opportunities at Lazio.

Maybe I was a bit unlucky because in the few minutes I played I could have scored two or three goals, you never know what would have happened if I had scored. But I prefer not to think about that. If I’m not mistaken with Lazio I played a total of 360 minutes.

Finally, Raul Moro spoke about some of the other clubs interested in him back in 2019 before he joined Lazio in a deal worth around €6 million.

After my last season in Spain I had many requests. I know that several clubs came to see me, including Chelsea and Inter, but when they knew the price they backed out. Lazio spent €6 million to bring me to Italy, at that time I didn’t even know my market value.
