Carlo Pellegatti spoke on his YouTube channel (via MilanLive) about the future of Romagnoli, stating that the defender wants a net salary of €5.5-6m per year and he does not know if this is a request that Lazio can satisfy. Romagnoli wants that amount for the last or penultimate important contract of his professional career.
Of course Romagnoli is a Biancoceleste fan and has not hidden that, but it seems unlikely that their president Claudio Lotito will agree to pay him such a salary, given the parameters of the Capitoline club are different and their highest paid player is Ciro Immobile at €4m.
