Rome 21 May 2024 – All loves creak in the face of the unstoppable wear and tear of time, especially football ones. Ciro Immobilealthough a symbol of Lazio modern day, he too is starting to suffer the blows of father time and the season that has just ended can be summed up as the worst, both in terms of numbers and average performance, of the 8 spent on the white and blue banks of the Tiber. Just 11 goals scored in all competitions in 41 games played, very little for a champion capable of scoring 196 in the remaining 298 games with the shirt of this team. Numbers that give the dimension of the difficulties suffered by the striker from Torre Annunziata, difficulties that have also called into question his permanence in the Capitoline club.
Despite all the rumors that have followed this season, the reality at the moment is that there is no divorce on the horizon between Motionless and the Lazio. The player is now part of the history of the Biancoceleste team and will still be captain and image man of the team Tudor. Many responsibilities will be taken off his shoulders, focusing heavily on the growth of Castellanos, up to now in fact preferred several times by Tudor to the Capitoline number 17. The captain, for his part, knows on a physical level that he can no longer guarantee, at 34 years of age, continuity of performance in the approximately 45 matches played each year by the Capitoline players. For this reason, it is legitimate to think about reducing the captain’s playing time, but he is ready to make a contribution not only during the match in progress, but when the ball weighs more, also leveraging the great international experience accumulated by the 2021 European Champion.
This communion of purpose found between Lazio And Motionless, has put away the transfer rumors, which in truth had already been cold for some time due to the movements of some teams. The player had ended up on the notebooks of Arab clubs, precisely Saudi Pro Leaguebut also the UAE championship, without ever seeing offers formalized to the owner’s club Lotito. However, not even a survey was received from the North American militant groups MLS. In Italy Inter had followed his footsteps, also thanks to the relationship between Simone Inzaghi and the bomber from Campania, but the hiring of Mehdi Taremi from the Port on a free transfer and the contract that binds Arnautovic to the Nerazzurri, is currently keeping this track very far away from the Milanese club, currently in the midst of a full corporate change after Zhang’s failure to pay his debts to the Oaktree fund. In the event of the farewell of the Austrian former Bologna player, interest in the Biancoceleste center forward could be rekindled, but having to possibly accept a capital loss to get rid of the Austrian striker at Inter, we will act with all the possible caution necessary. The future of Ciro Immobile At the moment everything remains in white and blue colours, with the naive and romantic hope of the fans that this love story can continue until the end of the centre-forward’s journey in the world of football played.
