There’s some excitement building in Rome over the potential return of Felipe Anderson to Lazio.
Over the past few days, websites covering the Serie A club have been explaining the desire among the club’s fanbase for the Brazilian to return.
The 28-year-old left Lazio in 2018 for a move to West Ham which was worth a figure approaching €40m. He spent last season on loan at FC Porto, and it’s fair to say things didn’t go very well.
Early on in the loan there were warnings from the Portuguese media to Anderson, telling him that a season at Porto shouldn’t be seen as something of a gap year experience, and things didn’t get much better from there.
Corriere dello Sport’s Sunday edition says the ‘sensational’ transfer could be on, however, much of what they write seems to be based on circumstantial evidence and hope. The Italian newspaper state ‘he can really come back’ and that a transfer is ‘possible’ in the current window.
Lazio’s new manager Maurizio Sarri is said to be a fan, and Corriere dello Sport are looking for anything which can help them back up their desire for a deal to be done.
The coming weeks will see whether that desire can be fulfilled.
