Cagliari Set Sights on Lazio Full-Back as They Look to Replace Chelseas PalestraCagliari are reportedly searching the market for a new right wing-back, as Lazios Romano Floriani Mussolini emerges as a potential solution.Romano Floriani Mussolini Returned to Lazio After Cremonese SpellThe 23-year-old is a Lazio youth product who rose to prominence following his Serie B exploits at Juve Stabia in 2024/25. Last season, the Roma native had his first Serie A experience at Cremonese, but he couldnt lock down a starting role. Following their relegation, the Lombardians opted against exercising their option to buy the player, who rejoined the Biancocelestis ranks.This may have been a blessing in disguise for Floriani Mussolini, who is now enjoying an impressive pre-season as part of Gennaro Gattusos camp and is expected to play his football in Italys top flight once more.Cagliari Tracking Floriani MussoliniAccording to Sky Sport Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Cagliari have added Floriani Mussolini to their wing-back shortlist. Last season, the Isolani had Marco Palestra patrolling their right flank. The youngster cemented himself as one of the best players in Serie A and has since returned to Atalanta, who subsequently sold him to Chelsea for 55 millionTherefore, the Rossoblu need a new right-back/right wing-back, and Floriani Mussolini has been targeted, although hes not the only man on their shortlist. Di Marzio also reveals that the club is close to acquiring Atalantas Daniel Maldini, who spent the second half of the previous campaign on loan at Lazio.Lazio Want to Keep Floriani Mussolini, Manuel Lazzari to be SoldIl Messaggero also weighs in on Cagliaris interest in Floriani Mussolini, but expects Lazio to keep the 23-year-old, who could vie for a starting role with Adam Marusic. On the contrary, Manuel Lazzari is now considered surplus to requirements, so the management is planning to sell him before his contract expires next year.
