The ultimatum to Kamada will not be respected. For goodness sake, today’s date was indicative, since the unilateral option, in favor of the Japanese player, for the three-year renewal with Lazio will expire on 30 May. The club had asked and hoped to receive an answer on whether he would stay or leave in advance. But no, more days of reflection will be needed, Daichi is taking his time. However, he is re-evaluating staying in Formello, he would do so by signing for a maximum of another year (provided that Lotito agrees to the risk of losing him again in 2025 at zero), but he is still undecided. He has two other offers on his plate, in particular there is that of Crystal Palace from his former manager Glasner, Kamada is tormented. Tudor regenerated him, making him comfortable in the 3-4-2-1, used seven times out of seven in the league. In Monza he had favored Immobile’s advantage, on Sunday he produced another super performance in the coverage and recovery phase: a record of tackles (4) and duels (7) won against Empoli and a standing ovation from the Olimpico at the substitution. On the day of the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the first scudetto. «I wanted a match shirt, I asked Kamada, what could a Japanese person care? Instead he replied: “Not this, it’s an important shirt” », the revelation from Massimo Maestrelli on Sunday afternoon.
OTHER PURCHASES
In December the discouragement had taken over, Daichi was certain he wanted to leave our championship. Perhaps now Lazio is slowly entering into him, as Lotito hoped: «Tudor made it a pivot». It was the promise made at Villa San Sebastiano by the Croatian coach when signing the contract. However, Igor only signed until 2025, perhaps this too does not fully convince Kamada, there is the fear of finding himself back at the beginning. The Japanese player is the only new purchase re-evaluated, the rest of the summer market – and not only – ended up on the margins of the new cycle. It’s true that Tudor has used 19 starters, but Rovella is still used in fits and starts, Pedro is now preferred to Isaksen, and Immobile has already replaced Castellanos. Compared to Sarri’s times, Guendouzi also seems different and will consider saying goodbye at the end of the season. Despite the diplomacy of his entourage, Romagnoli continues to not find himself in the new module. Perhaps the company underestimated how much this technical revolution would upset the current workforce. The scenario ahead of June is frightening, especially without the Champions League gold (there remains a glimmer of light with two days left of the championship) and with the usual specter of the liquidity index around the corner.
THE KNOT BETWEEN THE POLES
Fresh money is needed, difficult to obtain from the 31-year-old Luis Alberto, at the end of the credits with Lazio. After the injury on March 12, the suitors for Provedel are disappearing, another case under the carpet. Ivan would like to regain his place between the posts, make a desperate bid for the European Championship, and is annoyed by those who have questioned his difficulties in recovery. The Friulian hopes to return to San Siro, he needs to be relaunched, but now Tudor has doubts after Christos’ saves. Together with Kamada, Mandas is the other new signing – already launched by Sarri on 10 January – who has emerged and grown. After Monza (there is the Colpani deal at stake), Fiorentina would also be interested in the Greek goalkeeper and could put Barak on the table. Lazio would not want to sell him, except on loan, without prejudice to Provedel’s stay in Formello. However, they all have a price, the valuation has jumped to 25-30 million, they would be very convenient.
