Lazio takes action. The Biancocelesti in midfield find themselves with the short blanket. With Vecino’s injury (he risks a two-month stoppage) and with Castrovilli unable to carve out the space he hoped for (less than 150 minutes in the season), only Rovella, Guendouzi and Dele-Bashiru remain available to coach Baroni. midfield. For this reason the club is exploring the market in search of a player who can complete the squad. However, there is a problem: the list for the championship is complete and therefore a player who is U22 or who grew up in the Biancoceleste youth sector must be found. Profiles that wouldn’t take up space on the list. In this sense, the name of Cesare Casadei, the 21-year-old from Chelsea who Lazio has been following for some time, is gaining popularity.

the situation

Lazio is looking for a low-cost operation. Chelsea are ready to loan the player, but would like the obligation to buy to be included. The two clubs must reach an agreement in this sense, but in Formello there is optimism although several Italian clubs are interested in the player. The trail that leads to Michael Folorunsho of Napoli also remains alive. The player, who grew up in the Biancoceleste academy, would not occupy space on the list. However, Lotito and De Laurentiis did not reach an agreement in the summer (Baroni likes the player and has already coached him in Verona) and it is by no means a given that they will succeed in January.
