DOHA — Qatari giants Al-Sadd are reportedly in the final stages of securing the transfer of Italian central defender Alessio Romagnoli. According to reports, the 31-year-old has already reached an agreement on personal terms with the club, marking a significant potential departure from Serie A side Lazio.
Transfer Status
While the player has accepted the proposal offered by Al-Sadd, the deal is not yet finalized. The two clubs Al-Sadd and Lazio are currently engaged in active negotiations to settle the final details of the transfer fee.
Despite the outstanding club-to-club agreement, Al-Sadd officials have expressed high levels of confidence that the transfer will be successfully concluded by next week.
Romagnoli’s Tenure at Lazio
Alessio Romagnoli, whose current contract with the Roman club is valid until June 30, 2027, has reportedly signaled his desire for a move to the club hierarchy. His departure would come after a productive spell in Italy, during which he remained a consistent figure in the defense, making 37 appearances across all competitions last season and contributing one goal.
The potential move to the Qatar Stars League would see the Italian veteran join a project aimed at bolstering Al-Sadd’s defensive options as they prepare for upcoming domestic and continental challenges.
Next Steps
With personal terms settled, the focus now shifts entirely to the financial compensation between the two clubs. Football market analysts note that given the player’s contract length and his standing in the squad, the negotiation is likely centered on a transfer fee that reflects his experience and value in the current market.
