The two offers of 35 million entice the tip. Lotito denies the hypothesis of selling him. But he looks around: Dia and Simeone are the alternatives

The fear is there and it is noticed. The doubt that Immobile is actually tempted by the mega-offers from Arabia is making its way. Starting with the fans, creating a sort of fear that the captain might leave Lazio. The striker’s first day in Auronzo’s retirement brought uncertainty. Immobile received two offers from Arab clubs, Al Shabab and Al Wheda, both for a total of between 30 and 35 million for two seasons. For now they are pending. At the same time, a proposal to buy the 33-year-old striker would have reached the club: a figure considered low and therefore not taken into consideration. Thus, on Thursday, the president Lotito denied any hypothesis of the sale of the goalscorer who entered the club’s history with the absolute record for goals scored (196). But the situation remains open. A relaunch of the offer for the club could come from Arabia.

hug

Immobile joined the team on Thursday evening in training camp. A hundred fans waited for him in front of Auronzo’s hotel. With choirs and applause that meant a big hug. Yesterday, as soon as he appeared on the pitch, the fans started cheering him on. Immobile showed up in great shape. He sprinted in the practice of attacking schemes and applause started for his first goal. As soon as he approached the fence, the inevitable phrases “Don’t go to Arabia”, “Stay in Lazio”. After Milinkovic’s departure, the fear of losing another pillar, indeed the symbol of Lazio. Immobile then went on to sign autographs, without drafting any reply to those who invited him to stay. Also in the afternoon, applause and choirs. At the end of training, the captain had a chat with Martusciello and Sarri. Which he saw again in the evening after dinner.

reflection

Armored building and concentrated among his thoughts. He had also been contacted by Arab clubs in recent months, but there had been no follow-up. It seems unlikely that he will be able to leave Lazio, but the sirens are looming. The bomber these days wants to reflect on his relationship with Lazio. Yes, he has always felt central to the Biancoceleste project. He has a contract until 2026, which could soon be readjusted in an economic key: the current salary is just over 4 million euros. It is difficult to imagine Lazio without Immobile. Even if the Biancoceleste market is very much focused on finding an extra striker. Initially, the goal was Milik, who then returned to Juventus: a reinforcement capable of alternating with the captain. The search for a striker then turned towards a deputy Immobile: a young backup to be evaluated as a possible successor to the striker born in 1990. Like Zeki Amdouni, 22, from Basel, or Taty Castellanos, 24, from New York City. But in recent weeks, Lazio has also looked at Giovanni Simeone, 28, fresh from the Scudetto with Napoli, and Boulaye Dia, 26, who scored 16 goals in the championship with Salernitana. Two tracks also for the near future. Each with a valuation of at least 25 million. A type of investment also considered in the projection of an after Property.
