In addition to Lucca, Riso also represents Newcastle’s Sandro Tonali, and he did not dismiss possibility of the midfielder’s transfer in the summer window.
Riso has been quite active lately as several of his clients made club changes.

“Giovane’s transfer to Napoli and Venturino’s move to Roma were the most challenging to finalize, but ultimately we succeeded,” Riso remarked.

Riso engaged in discussions with Nottingham Forest regarding Davide Frattesi and Lucca. While Lucca successfully moved from Napoli, Frattesi opted to remain with Inter.
“Lazio made a serious attempt to secure Frattesi, but other teams, including Nottingham Forest, were also pursuing him,” Riso explained.
“I understand Davide’s desire for more playing time; all prominent players seek this. However, Inter was never open to selling him. I can confidently say Davide is pleased to stay, feeling fit and ready to contribute more significantly. I’m sure both Frattesi and Inter will thrive together.”
“Lorenzo [Lucca] has joined the Premier League, the pinnacle of football. This is a great opportunity for him to develop further. After several tough months at Napoli, I believe he’s a robust player and will make an impact.”

“It’s true, Camarda was close to returning to Milan, but he experienced a shoulder issue and required surgery,” the agent confirmed.
“He might find more playing time at Lecce and contribute in the latter part of the season.”

“I believe Lazio is the right environment for Daniel [Maldini]. He possesses significant talent that everyone acknowledges. I’m confident he will showcase his ability. Though he comes from a different style of football under Palladino, I trust he will adjust well to Sarri’s system, which will best utilize his skills.”
Finally, Riso commented on Brescianini’s transfer to Fiorentina and Tommaso Baldanzi’s switch to Genoa from Roma.

“Acquiring Brescianini proved challenging as Atalanta was reluctant to sell him. Marco is one of those versatile players who can significantly enhance any team. He will be an important addition for Fiorentina.”
“The influence of De Rossi played a crucial role in Baldanzi’s transfer,” Riso concluded.
“The coach persuaded him to join Genoa. Though Gasp wanted to retain Tommaso, he needed more playing time, making the move to the Rossoblu an ideal solution.”
