Pending the sale of the Serbian, the coach wants reinforcements in direction and attack: sprint for Torreira and Marcos Leonardo, but not only…
It is sown, waiting for the harvest. Lazio is moving, it has several negotiations to strengthen the team. Sarri, however, asks that the first shots be fired quickly. Today the coach will meet Fabiani to take stock of the situation. On 8 June they had already met (at the time president Lotito was also present, now busy in Campobasso), but since then the biancocelesti have not managed to sell or buy.

This was precisely because in attack he didn’t think he had suitable players. He insists on Marcos Leonardo, for whom an offer (of 10 million) has already been presented to Santos. It will be necessary to raise it a little to close the deal. Zaha has been proposed in recent days, but he has a high salary, an attempt for Ngonge from Verona is not excluded, but at the moment he is not at the top of the wish list. Today Sarri will reiterate his preferences to the club, he will also ask to speed up and close some negotiations. Because for the moment Lazio has only sown…
