Tudor’s typical Lazio lacks some “physical and capable” players. This is what Igor asks for, specialists for the 3-4-2-1 and his shock football. Lotito last year he froze Sarri by proclaiming himself president. The big question is: will Tudor be satisfied or at least indulged? The tangle of contradictions of the last market cannot influence the next one. Director Fabiani views the profiles studied by the talent room, notes names, meets prosecutors, is collecting proposals, ensures that he has not launched attacks, will meet with Tudor by mid-May to make an initial point. Today thoughts and forces are concentrated on climbing the Champions League, in Formello they believe in it. But it is normal for there to be some basic ideas, they concern the roles to be strengthened. 4-5 purchases can be expected net of any sales. The variants are linked to Luis Alberto, Guendouzi, Immobile and Kamada. All names that for one reason or another are in the balance.
Lazio, details of the reinforcement plan
The 4-5 essential purchases serve to cover existing holes in the eleven or on the bench. Defense is the department that Igor promoted in a short time. Romagnoli and Casale satisfy him as dominant centre-backs. Patric and Gila are considered perfect arm players. But they are few. The 3-man defense presupposes the presence of six defenders, which is why the arrival of two reinforcements was taken into account: deputies Patric and Gila. The midfield presents the first puzzles. The Tudor-Guendouzi truce will last until the end of May, then we will have to evaluate the Frenchman’s intentions, he could consider leaving. The renewal option of Kamada will expire on May 30th, has not yet given a response. Vecino expires in 2025. Cataldi and Rovella will remain. Any possible departure will have to be replaced. A purchase will be closed on the left, a slider will be added. Tudor left with Zaccagni. Marusic fits, Lazzari tried. Hysaj sees it more on the right. Pellegrini was not seen. The purchase of a winger is being evaluated, it would allow Zaccagni to be advanced and recover offensiveness. There are reflections on Gosens from Union Berlin, he has never been denied. He will leave Germany.
On attack
Going forward there are certainties and uncertainties. Castellanos will become a spearhead for the company. The arrival of a new Felipe, an attacking midfielder, is already scheduled. Zaccagni can return close to the area. Isaksen, launched and forgotten by Tudor, will be one of the alternatives. We are trying to terminate the contract with Pedro. But it is the Luis and Ciro cases that create the greatest uncertainties. Lotito will only let them leave if he receives convenient offers. The Wizard has come to his senses, it is not clear whether he has changed his mind about what to do. He had announced his farewell, but after the goal in Genoa he polished the eagle on his chest. He will talk about it again at the end of the year. Ciro has no offers, if they arise they will be evaluated. Rumors about Canada have been added to Arabia. For Luis and Ciro the salaries and the cost of the cards weigh heavily (Lotito does not sell them below 15 million). Up front, while remaining the captain, we are thinking of a replacement who could be useful as a centre-forward or attacking midfielder. The names of Dia and Tchaouna from Salernitana are at stake. Purchases on sale from relegated teams and sudden offers can be right up Lotito’s mind. The initial budget will be decided based on European qualification. If real and attractive offers arrive for the big names, the nest egg will increase.
