Lazio are reportedly considering Borussia Monchengladbach's Fabio Chiarodia as a defensive target, as the club needs to strengthen its defense due to the impending departure of Alessio Romagnoli. The 21-year-old Italian-German centre-back, whose contract is valid until June 2027, is considered a potential opportunity because as an Italian Under-23 player, his signing would be financially advantageous for Lazio. The club may need to operate on a 'zero balance' budget this summer. Chiarodia joined his current club in July 2023 and has one cap for Italy. In the 2025/2026 Bundesliga season, he made 15 appearances and provided one assist. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €3.00m.
