5 Players Who Moves To Lazio From AC Milan Before Romagnoli

Lazio has just signed Alessio Romagnoli from AC Milan to bolster their defense. Romagnoli has also started to lose his place at the San Siro, as Stefano Pioli more often paired Pierre Kalulu and Fikayo Tomori.

The arrival of Romagnoli in Lazio will strengthen their defense. Given that Lazio wants to be in the top 4 of Serie A in the 2022/2023 season.

AC Milan and Lazio also recorded several exchanges between the two. Here are 5 players who joined Lazio from AC Milan before Romagnoli.

1. Mateo Musacchio

Mateo Musacchio joined Milan after seven seasons at Villarreal. Despite initially not getting enough minutes, Leonardo Bonucci's departure ensured that Musacchio was trusted to guard Milan's backline.

In 2020, Musacchio has decided to move to Lazio. However, due to his poor performance, Musacchio was rarely allowed to play.

2. Pepe Reina

Pepe Reina had the best season when defending Liverpool for almost a decade. Reina then played for Napoli and Bayern Munich before moving to AC Milan in 2018.

However, Gianluigi Donnarumma's solid performance didn't give him too many chances in the goal. After two seasons, Reina opted for Lazio and started playing a lot. The Spanish goalkeeper is now defending Villarreal.

3. Ameth Lo

Maybe not many people know the name, Ameth Lo. Because he never started to play for the Rossoneri. Milan also sold him to Lazio in 2017.

Just like in Milan, once again Lo has no chance to play at the Olimpico. He then moved to the Maltese league and regularly played in the lower leagues of the Italian league.

4. Alessandro Matri

Alessandro Matri is a product of AC Milan's youth academy. He never made his senior team debut but was traded to Cagliari before joining Juventus. His stellar performances for both teams prompted Milan to buy him back.

Unfortunately, Matri was unable to show his strength again. He was loaned out more frequently to several clubs, one of which was Lazio. With Lazio, Matri has only scored seven goals in 31 appearances.

5. Cristian Brocchi

Cristian Brocchi is a product of the AC Milan academy, just like Matri. Uniquely, the player who debuted for the senior team in 1994 has defended Milan three different times.

Brocchi played for several teams during his career, including Inter Milan, Fiorentina, and Lazio. He retired from football in 2013 after playing with Lazio for several seasons.
