An attack to be refounded to relaunch the Europe project. Lazio’s primary need for the winter market concerns the improvement of the advanced department which in this first part of the season has left a lot to be desired. We are looking for a new first striker, but as there are already three in the squad (Castellanos, Noslin and Dia) it is necessary to sell one first.

The main suspect is Castellanos both because he is the only one who has admirers and because, being the owner, he would not accept a subordinate role with the arrival of another attacker. Flamengo and River Plate like the Argentine, who continue to press him. But Taty would prefer to stay in Europe and wouldn’t mind gaining experience in the Premier League. He could thus end up at Leeds, who are insistently courting him. However, Lotito wants at least 30 million, a figure that the English club is currently not willing to put on the table. So there will be some negotiation to do.

If Castellanos were to leave, Lazio would immediately go for Lorenzo Lucca who at Napoli, with Hojlund starting and Lukaku close to returning, risks running out of space. Lazio will ask the Neapolitans for a loan with non-obligatory redemption, a formula that De Laurentiis’ club, however, is not guaranteed to accept. Alternatively, there is Fiorentina center forward Roberto Piccoli, who could leave as part of the awaited transfer revolution at the Viola. Also in this case we would aim for a loan without obligation to repay.
Pressing Samardzic

But it’s not just the attack that needs strengthening. In fact, Sarri also asked for a quality midfielder. The right profile is that of Samir Samardzic, who plays intermittently at Atalanta and can look favorably on a transfer to the capital. However, his club needs to be convinced and overcome the competition from Fiorentina. The Serbian cost Atalanta 20 million and any negotiations start from that figure. Among other things, a concrete commitment to buy is essential. Even through a loan with mandatory redemption, as long as there is certainty of purchase. Not a simple operation.
