Palladino Wants Reunion With Departing Lazio Stalwart at Bologna
Palladino Wants Cataldi at Bologna According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Palladino is looking to reunite with his former Fiorentina pupil.
Key points
- Danilo Cataldi Thrived Under Raffaele Palladino at Fiorentina The 32-year-old spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Fiorentina, cementing himself as a regular starter in Palladino’s lineup.
- Therefore, many observers believe Cataldi is already surplus to requirements at Lazio, with Gennaro Gattuso likely to favour Rovella or Belahyane if all three are available.
- Lazio Decide to Part Ways With Cataldi In recent days, it has been reported that the Biancocelesti have decided against renewing Cataldi’s expiring contract.
Lazio Defender Leaves National Team Camp After Suffering New Injury Palladino’s other options are AC Milan outcast Warren Bondo, who had also played under his guidance at Monza, and Parma’s Christian Ordonez.

Additional details
- The young tactician left Florence at the end of the season, so the Tuscan club opted against exercising the option to buy the player from Lazio.
- Therefore, the Lazio youth product is expected to leave the club in 2027, either as a free agent in the summer or perhaps as early as January.
- The 42-year-old was appointed at Bologna following Domenico Tedesco’s swift sacking in September.
- While the Italian tactician has already turned the Emilians’ fortunes with a positive run, he is adamant about signing a new central midfielder in January, with Cataldi at the top of his shortlist.
- Lazio Would Encourage Cataldi to Leave Lazio would likely welcome the idea.
