Nicolò Casale
Nicolò Casale is an Italian defender born in Negrar on 14 February 1998. He developed in Hellas Verona's youth system and began his senior career on loan at Perugia in 2017. Further spells with Prato, Südtirol, Venezia and Empoli broadened his experience before he helped Empoli win the 2020–21 Serie B title. Returning to Verona in 2021, Casale established himself in Serie A as a centre-back, also operating in a back three and covering wider areas. Lazio signed him in 2022, and he contributed to a defence that finished second in Serie A in his first season in Rome. He received his first senior Italy call-up in September 2023. Casale joined Bologna on loan in 2024, with the move made permanent in 2025, and won the Coppa Italia with the club in 2024–25. At 1.91 metres, Nicolò Casale combines physical defending with ball-playing ability.
