Lazio announced the permanent signing on 17 July 2026, acquiring his sporting rights from Real Madrid with a sell-on percentage for the Spanish club on any future transfer.[1](https://www.sslazio.it/it/news/comunicati/bruno-galassi-in-biancoceleste-a-titolo-definitivo) Spanish reporting put the fee at about 4 million euros, with Real Madrid's share of a future sale expected to be roughly 50 percent, a structure the newspaper compared to Lazio's 2022 purchase of Mario Gila.[8](https://as.com/futbol/internacional/oficial-galassi-del-real-madrid-a-la-lazio-f202607-n/) The report described him as a central midfielder of Argentine origin who can adapt as a defender, and noted he would need time to adjust to Italian football under coach Rino Gattuso.[8](https://as.com/futbol/internacional/oficial-galassi-del-real-madrid-a-la-lazio-f202607-n/)
At Lazio he took the number 8 shirt and signed a contract running to 30 June 2029.[2](https://www.sofascore.com/football/player/bruno-galassi/2216006) His early 2026-27 appearances came with the under-20 side in the Campionato Primavera 1, where he played two matches and scored once, and he was an unused substitute in Lazio's Coppa Italia first-round match against Mantova on 16 August 2026.[10](https://www.soccerpunter.com/player/37755697/Bruno-Galassi) • [11](https://fbref.com/en/players/56fe7000/matchlogs/2026-2027/summary/Bruno-Galassi-Match-Logs)
## Playing style
