First transfer shot in the pipeline for Lazio. It can be fired as early as next week, once the championship is over. It’s about Loum Tchaounaa jewel born in 2003 from Salernitana.
In this disastrous season for the Campania team he is among the few to have stood out, with 6 goals and 4 assists in 34 appearances between Serie A and the Italian Cup. With Granata’s relegation to Serie B, his departure was taken for granted and the Biancocelesti played early.
For weeks the director Fabiani is working to bring in the French winger, originally from Chad, and now the operation only needs to be formalised, with an agreement found between the parties for a figure close to 10 million euros.
Tchaouna was born as a winger, but has played when necessary on the entire offensive front, also this year in Salerno. In Lazio’s plans he would arrive in Formello to collect the legacy of the departing player Felipe Anderson (who will leave at 0 and return to Brazil, where he has already signed with Palmeiras). Actually second Fabio Liverani, who saw him up close in his brief stint on the Salernitana bench this year, behind the striker in the 3-4-2-1 is not exactly his natural role. He has different physical and technical characteristics than players like Anderson himself Zaccagni, which could be adapted more easily to the trocar. In Formello, however, they are convinced of the boy’s qualities and intend to go all the way.
Born into football in Rennes’ youth team, Tchaouna spent a year at Dijon before moving to Granata for 3 million euros last summer. In Serie A he has caught the attention of many insiders this year. Now he will have the first great opportunity of his career to compete on an important stage wearing the white and blue shirt.
