Scouting Report & Player Insights
Nicolò Casale is a tall, physically imposing Italian centre-back now with Bologna in Serie A after making his name at Hellas Verona and spending time at Lazio. He is primarily an aerial and ground-duel specialist who reads danger well and is comfortable in a back three or four, though his distribution and mobility are more functional than eye-catching. Injuries have interrupted his momentum since his Lazio move, and he now looks to re-establish himself as a dependable Serie A starter at Bologna.
Broke through as a regular starter at Hellas Verona before earning a move to Lazio in 2022.
Has featured for the Italy national team setup during his time at Lazio.
