As reported by Corriere dello Sport (via LazioNews24), Romagnoli impressed playing alongside Patric in the backline yesterday, showing excellent character and leadership skills. He’s expected to be a pillar of the defence and so needs to quickly pick up Maurizio Sarri’s movements and tactics.

Things have started incredibly positive and both sides are confident that things will be comfortable ahead of the new season.

Romagnoli signed a five-year contract with Lazio and he’ll be hoping to follow in the footsteps of club legend Alessandro Nesta.
