Lazio midfielder Nicolo Rovella has been linked with multiple clubs in the Premier League and Liverpool and Aston Villa are reportedly in the chase for the Italian.
The 23-year-old has been a key player for Marco Baroni’s side this season, showing an ability to dictate play from deep. He has also grown as a leader, playing 33 times in Serie A.
While he is currently on loan from Juventus, Lazio will trigger their obligation to buy him and it is not guaranteed that Rovella will stay at the Roman giants beyond this campaign.
Il Messaggero have looked at his situation today and reveal that Aston Villa and Liverpool are continuing to put pressure on the Italian, who had attracted interest from Manchester City in January.
The midfielder is keen on staying at Lazio but things will not be as easy if the pressure from clubs in England keeps growing.
Liverpool and Aston Villa will see their chances of a move decided by how Lazio’s season ends.
Marco Baroni’s side find themselves in a race for European football and are 6th in Serie A. They are only two points behind a Champions League spot. Failure to qualify for the competition can force them to sell key players and Rovella may be one of them, as his value has escalated this season.
Their final match of the season is against Lecce on Sunday, so the next few days are key.
