There Lazio it is among the oldest teams in Europe, with an average age above 28, and the idea of lowering it has been discussed for months. An idea which, however, remains as such for the moment. Simply because rejuvenating the squad is a complicated objective, because it would mean being able to place older and at the same time more expensive players and achieving this will therefore depend on the offers that arrive. This is written by today’s edition of Courier of Rome.
With the long contracts that tie Luis Alberto, Immobile and Lazzari to the club, talking about rejuvenation does not reflect the situation. In Formello, perhaps to convey confidence to the players, he ensures that there won’t be many transfers, but is it a decision or a condition? Because selling older players with high salaries is very complicated. Especially if Lotito doesn’t have to offer discounts on the price tag of its members.
Furthermore, according to what we read in the newspaper, rejuvenating the squad is certainly not the first objective. But, in fact, just an idea. Also because otherwise Lazio would not have tried to convince Felipe Anderson to stay. The club had proposed to the 31-year-old to renew for 5 seasons. The Brazilian decided to move to Palmeiras, but the Biancocelesti would have kept him until he was 36.
