Danilo Cataldi and Lazio are ready to stay together. The Roman club has already opened talks to extend the midfielder's contract, currently valid until 2027.
According to Il Messaggero, in recent days there was a first meeting between the Biancoceleste management and Giuseppe Riso, the player's agent. The desire of both parties is to reach an understanding without major difficulties or haste: Cataldi wants to continue his adventure at Formello and the objective is to strengthen the bond with Lazio.
The idea on the table is a renewal that could accompany him until the final stretch of his career, reflecting the midfielder's desire to “stay for life” at the club where he graduated.
While the conversations are taking place, Cataldi continues his recovery following surgery for pubalgia. The return will be made gradually, with a different work plan in the first days of the pre-season.
Gennaro Gattuso counts on the Italian international as one of the pillars of his project. Coach and player have already exchanged views with a view to the new season, and the coach sees Cataldi as a central element for Lazio's game model.
