Lazio is reportedly working to finalize a contract extension for defender Romano Floriani Mussolini through 2030. The proposed deal with the Pastorello Group would include a substantial salary increase, potentially quadrupling his current seasonal earnings. Following his development through the Lazio youth system and various loan spells, the player has recently secured more consistent playing time in the first team. Amidst this internal progression, Inter Milan has expressed interest in the defender as a potential reinforcement for their right defensive flank. While Inter is monitoring him for a potential move in June, a January transfer remains a possibility depending on Lazio’s squad changes. Lazio president Claudio Lotito has shown hesitation regarding mid-season departures, suggesting any sale would require a significant valuation, estimated at approximately 20 million euros. On October 27, 2026, the 23-year-old defender scored his first Serie A goal during Lazio’s 6-2 victory over Sassuolo. The goal, which occurred in the 16th minute, was confirmed by VAR after an initial offside flag. Under manager Gennaro Gattuso, the win maintains Lazio’s unbeaten streak at the top of the league table. The defender, who uses the name ‘Romano’ on his jersey to avoid controversy regarding his lineage as the great-grandson of Benito Mussolini, has previously stated he maintains no interest in politics. Notably, the goal occurred on the 104th anniversary of the March on Rome.
