Lazio could reportedly revamp their full-back department, with Luca Netz emerging as a possible candidate to join the club.

Full-Back overhaul at Lazio

According to La Lazio Siamo Noi, none of the club’s current full-backs is guaranteed to stay beyond the summer. Nuno Tavares will soon complete a permanent switch from Arsenal, but the Aquile are willing to listen to offers. The Portuguese could be sold if an offer in the region of €42 million were to arrive.

Manuel Lazzari, Elseid Hysaj and Luca Pellegrini are also facing uncertain futures, while Adam Marusic isn’t happy with his automatic renewal, as he was hoping for mutual agreement that includes a pay rise.

The 21-year-old is a youth product of Hertha Berlin who has been playing his football at Borussia Mönchengladbach since the summer of 2021. The report describes him as a well-rounded left-back, capable of offering his contribution in both phases.
