The son of Fabio Cannavaro joins the ranks of Lazio

Andrea Cannavaro, son of Fabio, the 2006 World Cup-winning Italian national team captain, joined the youth team of Lazio, according to what the latter said in a statement today.

"After returning to Italy to pursue his studies, Andrea decided to choose the youth sector project in Lazio," the Italian capital club said in a statement.

Andrea is sixteen years old (1.85 m) and he occupies the center of defense just like his father, who defended the colors of ancient clubs, including Juventus, Inter Milan and Real Madrid.

Andrea was playing for the Chinese Guangzhou Evergrande, who has been supervised by his father since 2017. The newspaper "Corriere dello Sport" revealed that Lazio succeeded in pulling the rug from his neighbor, Rome, in obtaining the services of the player who signed a contract with him until 2024.
