The 19-year-old centre-forward has scored a remarkable nine goals in just four games for the Primavera side this season, including four against Perugia.
“Last season (Lazio Coach) Simone Inzaghi called him up twice to be with the senior squad, against Juventus and Sampdoria,” agent Fabio Guardabasso told gianlucadimarzio.com.

“Along with the club we decided to let him grow in house and he’s replying with many goals. He has grown so much, especially on a psychological level. He knows his potential and is a real leader.
“It’s no coincidence that he’s the captain and had that role in the youth academy too.
“There was a talent scout from Manchester City in the stands this weekend. Rossi is one of the most important European talents of his age group and over the summer several clubs had already targeted him, but he remained in Rome and doesn’t regret it.
“The interest is flattering, but nothing more. He’s keeping his feet on the ground and has his own objectives, first of all to make his Serie A debut.”
