There are rumors of a fierce transfer derby between De Rossi’s Roma and Lotito’s Lazio. This is who the object of desire is
Serie A is ready to undergo an intense transfer market session, which seems to have what it takes to vigorously shuffle the cards available to our big names. The walk through the rubble carried out by Simone Inzaghi’s battleship during the season just ended will hardly be able to be repeated during the next season, given that the frenetic waltz of benches that took place in recent weeks and the consequent investments in the market are unlikely to end in nothing in fact.
Just think of Antonio Conte’s arrival in Neapolitan land, that of Thiago Motta in Vinovo, but also that of Daniele De Rossi in Trigoria, who has certainly already shown part of his repertoire over the last few weeks, but to whom a tailor-made transfer market will undoubtedly be needed to finally be able to express one’s footballing ambitions.
One of the departments to which DDR has repeatedly referred in the press conference is the offensive one, where the absence of offensive thrusting wingers (or even simply role players, with the exception of Stephan El Shaarawy) has undoubtedly limited the shining expression of the game imagined by DDR.
It is no coincidence that, in the weeks preceding the transfer market, Ghisolfi, Ricchio and De Rossi himself are moving above all to identify possible additions on the flanks. In this sense, two possible deals stand out that the Giallorossi would have entered into with Cristiano Giuntoli’s Juventus. However, in the last few hours potentially unpleasant news has arrived in the corridors of the Fulvio Bernardini sports center.
Lotito scores Matias Soulé in his notebook
If we had to choose a footballer capable of summarizing the characteristics that DDR is desperately craving for its wingers, we could easily name Federico Chiesa. The Juventus number 7, currently busy in the run-up to the Berlin final with the Azzurri, possesses most of those peculiarities sought by the Commander of Ostia… but the son of former Fiorentina star is not the only pawn on the Juventus chessboard to have teased the Capitoline leaders. In fact, as highlighted several times in recent weeks, Roma are reportedly exploring the path that leads to the signing of Matias Soulé, the young rough diamond returning to Turin from his loan spell at Di Francesco’s Frosinone.
We are talking about the one who, together with Joshua Zirkzee and a few others, was certainly the brightest surprise of the season just ended, during which he literally enchanted the spectators of the beautiful country. Between one game and another, the Argentinian born in 2003 benefited from a significantly less demanding place, where the security he acquired allowed him to naturally express extraordinary qualities.
This is an offensive winger capable of targeting the man, finishing on goal, but also and above all of establishing himself as a technical leader, thanks to a footballing intelligence that is difficult to find in other peers or colleagues in the role. The latest information on him comes directly from the Gazzetta dello Sport, where it is possible to read about an approach by Claudio Lotito’s Lazio. For both Roman teams, at least 25 million euros are needed (if not more given the valuation of 40 carried out in Vinovo) to make Giuntoli and Motta falter. The transfer derby begins.
