Danilo Cataldi leaving Lazio?
Tuttomercato has reported on the uncertain future of Danilo Cataldi at Lazio following his return from Fiorentina. Cataldi came back to Lazio after Fiorentina decided against exercising their option to keep him for 5 million EUR. His future at Lazio is still in doubt as he looks for assurances and trust from the club. Cataldi reportedly stated that he never wanted to leave Roma, but did so because he felt a sense of trust at Fiorentina. There have been tensions with Lazio's management, especially with Lotito, and Cataldi was reportedly upset to learn about his transfer listing through the media. Although some teammates wanted him to become captain, the role was given to Zaccagni, a decision Cataldi reportedly found difficult to accept. His relationship with coach Sarri has reportedly been strained, with criticisms over his playtime and performance. Lazio is contemplating retaining him only if he aligns with their project, as they need to strengthen the midfield and reduce salary expenses. Cataldi might be sold to facilitate these changes.
