Alessio Romagnoli has reportedly agreed to join Lazio on a free transfer, choosing his boyhood club over the incredibly interested Fulham.
The 27-year-old Italian centre back left Milan on a free transfer at the start of this month, ending a seven-year association with the Rossoneri. A move to the Biancocelesti seemed likely until Fulham suddenly emerged, ready to pay him €4m net per season in an attempt to convince him of the move.
As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, Romagnoli has decided to sign a five-year contract with Lazio, returning to his native city after more than seven years away. He will earn around €3m net per Eason plus add-ons, with bonuses linked to the Scudetto and European qualification.
Only the final details need to be agreed now before a deal is fully finalised. His pre-transfer medicals are expected to be scheduled at some point in the coming days.
