Inter have announced interest in right-back Romano Floriani Mussolini, who has consolidated his position in Gennaro Gattuso's Lazio after a season of apprenticeship with Cremonese. The Nerazzurri club intends to strengthen the right wing of the defense for next season, focusing on a young but already established player in Serie A.
Floriani Mussolini, born in 2001, showed exponential growth during his time in Serie B, where he demonstrated speed, accuracy in free kicks and the ability to contribute both defensively and offensively. His performance in Lazio made him a key element of the external department, especially under the direction of Gattuso, who enhanced his dynamic playing style and his ability to recover balls in the upper area.
However, Lazio does not seem ready to sell the player, unless Luis Henrique leaves. President Claudio Lotito reiterated that, if the team continues to rise in the rankings, Floriani Mussolini's "toy" remains on the pitch and no change is expected during the season. The only circumstance that could push Lazio to sell is an extremely advantageous offer from Inter, accompanied by the possible sale of Luis Henrique to foreign clubs.
In the past, clubs such as Galatasaray and Besiktas had shown interest in the Brazilian, but his desire to stay in Italy rejected the proposals. At the moment there are no signs of ongoing negotiations, but Inter have already indicated a market value of at least twenty million euros for Floriani Mussolini. This figure would represent a starting point, but Lazio could decide to increase the amount if the season goes positively.
For Inter, the acquisition of Floriani Mussolini would mean a consolidation of the defense, especially if the team were to fight for European qualification. The next transfer phase will be crucial: Inter will have to evaluate whether the twenty million proposal is enough to convince Lazio, taking into account the role of Luis Henrique and possible transfer requests. If the offer were to be accepted, Floriani Mussolini could become part of the Nerazzurri's external department as early as next season.
