Calciomercato Lazio: here is Romagnoli, then Vitinha and Rico

The list is already ready, even if the opening of the market is still a long time away and there is a season to finish. But after the misunderstandings that emerged during the winter session, Sarri and Lazio want to avoid new incidents and start rowing on the same side again, as happened last summer, when the purchases made by the club were all blessed by the coach.

Market and renewal

–

The new list also this time contains many wishes of the Tuscan coach. The renewal of the technician also depends on the achievement of the objectives (or, at least, on the attempt to pursue them). That he has a contract with Lazio that expires in 2023, with a clause, valid only for abroad, which allows him to free himself by next May. For months there has been talk of an extension until 2025 (with the elimination of that clause) to make the relationship between him and the club more solid and lasting. However, the technician asks for guarantees. Which are then the realization of certain purchases functional to his type of football and the possibility of discussing them with the managers. The company, after a few moments of hesitation, seems willing to please him. Also because in the last few weeks the Sarrian technical project has really begun to take shape. Speech concerning the results, but even more so about the game. In which we finally see the hand of the former Napoli, Chelsea and Juventus coach.

Vitinha or Lopez

–

The opening of the market is still a long way off, it was said. But Lazio must necessarily start planning it not only to “calm down” Sarri, but also because a re-foundation will be needed next summer. The fundamental role to be reinforced is that of play. The names followed are those of the French from Sassuolo Maxime Lopez and the Portuguese from Porto Vitinha. Two elements to which Sarri would gladly entrust the keys to the game. Obviously, these are two alternative options, also because an investment of between 25 and 30 million euros would be required for both one and the other. Money that Lazio will take from an excellent sale. The sacrifice of a big player (Milinkovic the major suspect, with Psg and United who are at the window) will finance the entire market, not just the purchase of the new midfield player.

Romagnoli dream

–

In fact, reinforcements are also needed in defense and between the posts. The back department will almost certainly lose Luiz Felipe and Patric. Both release in June: they are very close to Betis Sevilla (the Italian-Brazilian) and Valencia (the Spanish). Alessio Romagnoli has thus ended up in the sights of the Biancoceleste club, whose contract with Milan expires this year and will hardly be renewed. With the player, who is free to agree with another club, there have already been very interesting contacts. His arrival would be welcome in Sarri. As well as the Lazio fans, given that Romagnoli has never made any secret of his footballing faith, which is precisely biancoceleste. Lazio, however, will also have to take a goalkeeper, even if the performance provided in recent times by Strakosha could lead to a confirmation, with renewal, of the Albanian (he also has the contract expiring). The most concrete target is the Spaniard Sergio Rico, on loan to Mallorca and owned by Paris Saint Germain. He has costs (both for the card and for the engagement) much lower than the other Spaniard Kepa, which Sarri would prefer. For Kepa, in addition to the monstre salary (he takes over 7 million euros), there is now also the problem of the blocked transfer market for Chelsea. Speech that also concerns Emerson Palmieri, another name appreciated by Sarri: he is on loan to Lyon, but owned by the English club.
