Brighton & Hove Albion and Newcastle United are two of the clubs who are interested in Alessio Romagnoli, according to reports from the Italian media.
Calciomercato today writes that the Lazio defender has been drawing big interested lately, and ‘never ruled out’ moving abroad.
It’s said that Brighton and Newcastle are the two latest Premier League clubs to join the race, with the Magpies having ‘no real back up’ for Sven Botman.
There’s just no information on whether any of the two clubs already started the talks for the transfer, as it’s only said that they have him in their notebooks.
Calciomercato claims that even though Romagnoli is completely focused on his season with Lazio, an ‘indispensable offer’ could change his priorities.
Brighton and Newcastle aren’t expected to have an easy task negotiating with Lazio, though, with the report claiming that the club president Claudio Lotito is a difficult man to deal with.
No numbers are mentioned in the story, and Calciomercato currently values the player at €15m, meaning the Serie A side could end up requesting more to let him move in the middle of the season.
