As things stand, Lazio are close to having the squad they want, at least in Maurizio Sarriās eyes, with just a new left-back missing.
Emerson Palmieri was high on the list, but with the Italy international heading to West Ham, all eyes have turned on Sergio Reguilon, currently at Tottenham.
The defender appears to have fallen out of favour under Antonio Conte, who decided to bring in Ivan Perisic and use Ryan Sessegnon for the left hand side of his team instead.
Thatās why a way out is being looked at, and the Tottenham defender is a player Sarri wouldnāt mind in his team, but that decision ultimately isnāt his.
This is what Corriere dello Sport are reporting on Thursday, explaining that Claudio Lotito, the clubās president, āmust be convincedā, despite his manager āpressing constantlyā to get his man.
Unlike the Argentine, āthe conditions guaranteed by Fabio Paratici are even more favourable and Lazio are thinking about it: loan with a right of redemption and a wage mostly paid forā.
An aim for Reguilon is that he āmust win the call-up for the World Cup in Qatarā, which will only happen if he gets regular game time.
Itās said that āuntil yesterday afternoon, the contacts with Spurs had been indirectā, but today (Thursday) āwe will find out if something has moved in the night and if it is maturingā.
Thereās also the worry that competition could appear for the Tottenham player as Paratici āand his agent Kia Joorabchian have already talked about itā, with a potential āproposal from France on the wayā.
