Doubts have emerged regarding Alessandro Romano's decision to represent Italy in Italy's national team following his impressive debut goal in Serie A. Roberto Mancini, the new Italy coach, was present at the Stadio Tardini in Parma to witness the stunning strike. Romano, born in Switzerland on June 17, 2006, is a dual citizen with Italian and Swiss heritage.
He currently plays for Cagliari, having joined from Roma on an initial loan deal with a buy option this summer. Romano's move to Cagliari came after the club's relegation from Serie B to Serie C during the 2025-26 season, where he had previously played briefly. Despite representing Switzerland at the U20 level, Romano has recently expressed that he has held talks with FIGC representatives, but a decision on the country to represent at the senior level is not currently a priority.
