Romagnoli: 'So happy to be with Al-Sadd finally after Lazio problems'
Alessio Romagnoli has spoken publicly about his satisfaction at joining Qatari side Al-Sadd, framing the move as an escape from a difficult spell at Lazio. The Italian defender suggested there were unresolved problems at the Serie A club that made his departure the right decision. His arrival at Al-Sadd adds a high-profile European centre-back to the Qatar Stars League, though the underlying tone of the comments hints at tension with Lazio's management or environment.

Leaving Lazio — a club where he was captain and a defensive cornerstone — for Al-Sadd signals that the Italian defender's motivations were largely about resetting his career after a turbulent final stretch in Serie A. For Al-Sadd, securing a player of Romagnoli's pedigree strengthens their project in Qatar, but the circumstances of the move raise questions about how the parting with Lazio was handled.
