Cagliari Pursues Lazio Full‑Back Romano Floriani Mussolini

Italian Serie A club Cagliari is actively scouting for a new right wing‑back and has placed Lazio defender Romano Floriani Mussolini on its shortlist. The 23‑year‑old, a product of Lazio’s youth system, returned to the club after a season on loan at Cremonese, who were relegated and chose not to exercise their purchase option.

During pre‑season training under Lazio coach Gennaro Gattuso, Floriani Mussolini impressed and is expected to compete for a starting role in Serie A. Cagliari’s interest is reported alongside other candidates such as Daniel Maldini. Lazio is reportedly inclined to retain Floriani Mussolini while planning to sell fellow right‑back Manuel Lazzari before his contract expires.

The transfer speculation highlights the player’s versatility as a right‑back who can also operate in midfield, and underscores Cagliari’s need to reinforce its defensive flanks following the departure of Marco Palestra.
