Manchester City Line Up Move For This Lazio Star: Good Decision? | OneFootball

Nicolo Rovella made a big switch in his career when he joined Juventus in the year 2021. However, it didn’t turn out well as he struggled to establish himself. But a loan move to Lazio has turned his fortunate in the previous 18 months.

Rovella has established himself as a mainstay in the squad, attracting eyeballs from across the globe. He has featured in 23 games and has two assists to his name. He is averaging 2.7 shots, 1.4 interceptions, and 1.1 clearances per game (stats via whoscored).

The Italian midfielder is versatile to don different roles in the midfield. However, he is best known for his defensive traits as he can control the tempo of the game. Speed, atleticism, tackles, ball-control, creativity, and passing accuracy are some of his strengths.

Nicolo Rovella could be an intelligent buy

Manchester City’s interest in Nicolo Rovella is understandable as they lack quality in the midfield. The injury to Rodri has affected them badly and they need a reinforcement to end the season on a good note. Hence, a winter move for the player makes sense.

Rovella has been proving his talent in Serie A and is bound to make a Premier League move in near future. He can help the Citizens in the middle of the park with his qualities. He can be a long term investment for the English giant.

Though Lazio doesn’t hold the powers to sell the 23-year-old, they can make a permanent move before selling him to Manchester City. They can book good profits on the transfer as the English outfit are ready to pay as much as €40 million.
