Official: Lazio extends contract until 2031 for 23-year-old right-back Floriani Mussolini.

Lazio released a statement on Wednesday confirming the contract extension with Romano Floriani Mussolini. The new contract extends the original 2028 contract by three years, until June 30, 2031.

According to multiple sources, Floriani's salary was €150,000 per year prior to this contract renewal. His annual salary has now jumped to €600,000 and will continue to increase over time.

The 23-year-old Floriani was born in Rome, the capital of Italy. His great-grandfather was Mussolini, the leader of the Nazi Party during World War II. He mainly plays as a right-back, but can also play as a right midfielder or left midfielder when necessary.

Floriani began his football career at Roma, but officially joined Lazio's youth academy at the age of 13. Early in his career, he was loaned out to clubs such as Pescara, Juvestabia, and Cremona, until he finally established himself under Gennaro Gattuso this season.

To date, Floriani has made 11 appearances for Lazio, scoring a goal in the opening Serie A match against Bologna. Lazio currently sits atop the Serie A table with an unbeaten record of 9 wins, 2 draws, and 29 points, and Floriani's contributions on both ends of the pitch cannot be underestimated.

After finalizing his contract extension, Floriani couldn't hide his joy and excitement. He stated through official channels: "It is a great honor for me to continue wearing the blue jersey. The extension gives me extra motivation to always give my all. Come on, Lazio!"
