SS Lazio: Romano Benito Floriani Mussolini impresses Italy

Romano Benito Floriani Mussolini has established himself as an unexpected regular starter for SS Lazio under manager Gennaro Gattuso. The 23-year-old right-back started in the club's first nine Serie A matches of the season, helping Lazio remain undefeated and top the league table with 25 points. He recently scored his first goal for the Roman side during a 6-2 victory against Sassuolo.

The great-grandson of former Italian dictator Benito Mussolini previously had loan spells with Pescara, Juve Stabia, and Cremonese before earning his Serie A breakthrough. Under contract with Lazio until June 2028 with a two-year extension option, the defender is also reportedly drawing transfer interest from Inter Milan.
