Lazio wants to fix the attack as soon as possible. After Tchaounathe next piece will be Boulaye Dia: accelerated in the last hours with Salernitana and the basis of the agreement reached at 10 million fixed part for the price tag; they are now dancing 1-2 million bonuses to close the second purchase from the Campania club. The French-Senegalese striker, born in 1996, will thus be the third center forward in Baroni’s squad.
Now we need another couple of attacking midfielders to complete the battery. In fact, the idea of 4-2-3-1 sees Dia as the striker with the back Zaccagni on the left e Tchaouna on the right, more in the center one between Stengs And Noslinthe one of the two who will collect Luis Alberto’s legacy.
For the former, who can play both as a winger and as a pure number 10, there is a stalemate with Feyenoord: the Dutch in fact would like Isaksen as a counterpart. The Dane is highly appreciated by the Rotterdam team, but Lazio does not want to deprive him and is actually convinced that they will be able to win in the end without exchanging cards. At a technical level, the Biancocelesti are confident in an explosion of talent from the Danish offensive winger next season and furthermore with him the club can still take advantage of the tax advantages of the growth decree, exploited a summer ago for his arrival from Midtjylland. For Noslin instead Lotito is trying to convince Setti to lower the price. In this case, a counterpart could help to unblock the operation, with Akpa Akpro main candidate.
Both tracks are therefore open. In theory, however, there would be room in the squad for both of them. The problem is the margins for maneuver at the economic level, unless there is an extra budget from a sale. A scenario that is actually not so remote. In fact, Girona would really like to bring him home Castellanos, after selling him to Lazio a summer ago. Lotito asks for 20 million for Taty, a figure that he could reuse for a new striker. And Noslin can also play in that role, as he has already shown in the last six months under Baroni at Verona.
While these assessments are underway, in Formello everything is also ready for the arrival of the new midfielder Dele-Bashiru. A done deal with the Turks of Hatayspor: the Nigerian born in 2001, with an English passport, is expected in Rome to undergo medical examinations in the next few days.
