Lazio have given a potential hint regarding the next club captain following the recent sale of Ciro Immobile to Besiktas.
The 34-year-old Italian striker left the capital last week to join the Turkish club on a two-year deal, being sold by the Biancocelesti for around €3 million, bringing an end to a historic eight-year spell at the club.
Immobile was the Lazio captain for a few years following the retirement of Senad Lulic, and his departure forced the club to decide which player to hand the honour to next. One player in particular seems like a fairly obvious candidate – Alessio Romagnoli.
Lazio posted a photo on Twitter showing Romagnoli wearing the captain’s armband during the pre-season friendly against Trapani, suggesting that he could be given the honours for the upcoming 2024-25 season.
The 29-year-old Italian defender has only been with the club for the last two years but is known to be a boyhood fan of the team, a support he’s managed to maintain over the years.
He’s a right person to be our new captain.
Incontestable, Alessio because Cataldi might not start and Pellegrini clearly isn’t.
Love all of them to be fair they are all true Laziales
