Palladino targets Cataldi for Bologna as Lazio declines contract extension
Summary

Bologna head coach Raffaele Palladino is reportedly aiming to reunite with Lazio midfielder Danilo Cataldi, whose contract is expiring. Cataldi, 32, thrived under Palladino at Fiorentina but returned to Lazio, where he has been deemed surplus as Lazio prefers other options. With Lazio not renewing Cataldi’s contract, he could leave the club in January as a free agent. Palladino seeks to strengthen Bologna’s midfield in the upcoming transfer window, making Cataldi a top target.
