The parties have agreed on a contract running until the summer of 2029. For Lazio, this is a significant reinforcement for the left flank of their defense: Pedraza brings vast experience from La Liga and European competitions, where he was a key player for Villarreal for several seasons.

Pedraza is a product of the Villarreal academy and spent his entire career with the "Yellow Submarine," occasionally going out on loan, but now the defender has finally left Villarreal for good.

Reminder: Official: Gennaro Gattuso is the new Lazio coach!
