Five thousand, but there are also those who go as high as ten thousand and up to 15 thousand: the only certainty is that the demonstration of dissent by Lazio fans 48 hours later still leaves consequences. The photos and videos posted on social media with the kilometre-long procession that filled the square in front of Ponte Milvio in the evening are impressive. The cocktail between the disappointing season, the two resigned coaches and a market start considered to be downsizing was lethal for the outbreak of the dispute. The atmosphere has become tense again like it hasn’t been seen for a long time and only a sudden acceleration of the level of construction of next season’s squad could make it more relaxed. But what are Lazio’s plans? To a specific question, Lotito responded like this a week ago: “If everything goes well, I’ll hit three shots right away.” The attempts have actually been there since before the event and Formello assures us that even more negotiations are underway than those envisaged for the “three strikes”, all with the aim of making Baroni’s team both competitive and flexible. The former Hellas was chosen precisely because it does not have a fixed module and by varying it it could exploit the characteristics of the group it has at its disposal, saving the investments of the last market, and the same goes for the new arrivals.
ALL NAMES
At the moment the only safe purchase is that of Tchaouna, already taken from Salernitana for 8 million euros to deal with the departure of Felipe Anderson. After that we will move on to Luis Alberto’s replacement with three runs to go. The first leads to Stengs, even if there is a good distance for now between Lazio’s offer, 12 million, and Feyenoord’s request, 20. Despite this, Fabiani is continuing the pressure through the player’s entourage, who head to Raiola, to lower the price in view of the budget set at around 15 million for the post-Mago period. Plan B, for which Lotito has moved directly, is Samardzic, a profile that could cost less than expected after Udinese’s complicated season. The third is the outsider Dele-Bashiru, a name supported by the sporting director and certainly more accessible, but Trabzonspor are serious about him considering that they can get him for just 2 million instead of the 7 for clubs outside Turkey as required by the clause . Movements in the attacking midfield, but also in attack, where contacts continue with Setti for Noslin, who Baroni would gladly embrace again in a package with the full-back Cabal. An effort more than the 15 million proposed is needed and who knows, help may arrive from Girona with an offer of 20 million for Castellanos, the only way to raise the bar for the striker, otherwise we would have to turn to futuristic profiles like Bazdar of Partizan Belgrade. On the other hand, there are many young people who continue to be evaluated in the Formello talent room. Daniel Maldini, who could be linked to an operation with the outgoing Isaksen (in this case in Italy so as not to lose the benefits of the Growth Decree), has been joined by another very young player in Thiago Romano, the 2006 Argentinian from Panathinaikos. Another baby who joins the polls for El Khannouss of Genk, Obrador of Real Castile and Muñoz whose contract expires with Barcelona B. Different roles, but all inherent to the green line decided by the club.
