Cagliari eye low‑cost Floriani Mussolini as Lazio future clouds

Cagliari have revived interest in Romano Floriani Mussolini, the Lazio full‑back, as they search for a low‑cost option to reinforce their defence after a gap on the right flank, with the Sardinians monitoring his uncertain future in the capital and fresh contacts opened in recent hours.

Defensive gap drives Cagliari’s pursuit

Cagliari, known as the Rossoblù, are actively seeking a new option down the right flank as they aim to bolster their defence. The club’s interest is driven by the appeal of a modest transfer fee and a relatively low buy‑option clause that fits their budget. This low‑cost deal aligns with their strategy to add depth without heavy spending.

Floriani Mussolini’s recent season

Romano Floriani Mussolini spent the previous season on loan at US Cremonese, a side that suffered relegation and chose not to make the move permanent. He returned to Lazio and has impressed during pre‑season under head coach Gennaro Gattuso, showcasing the qualities the Sardinians desire. His performances have kept him on the radar despite the uncertainty surrounding his contract in the capital.

Lazio now faces a decision on whether to retain the academy product as squad depth or to send him out again for regular playing time. The full‑back’s future in Rome remains far from certain, leaving the club to weigh his development against immediate needs.

According to LaLazioSiamoNoi, relaying Tuttomercatoweb, the Sardinians are giving serious thought to the right‑back and fresh contacts between the parties have taken place in recent hours. The source indicated that important developments could follow in the coming days, underscoring the momentum of the negotiations.

A recent Serie A clash on APRIL 19, 2026 in Cremona, ITALY saw Floriani Mussolini of US Cremonese contest the ball with Enzo Ebosse of Torino FC, highlighting his recent top‑flight experience. Cagliari remain ready to act should the opportunity arise, with the low‑cost structure of the deal offering a practical solution to their defensive needs.
