For the past few days, we covered several claims discussing Fiorentina and Villarreal’s battle to sign Tottenham Hotspur’s Giovani Lo Celso.
However, Lazio have now ‘joined’ the chase for the 26-year-old, according to Corriere dello Sport.
The attacking midfielder is not included in Antonio Conte’s plans at Spurs and will have to find a new club before the window closes.
Tottenham chief Fabio Paratici is ready to let the player go out on a loan deal, perhaps without any obligation to buy.
Maurizio Sarri pushes the Serie A side to sign Lo Celso, whom he sees as a dream target.
The deal will be complicated, but not impossible, but the Argentina international can also return to Villarreal, while La Viola are in the picture to sign him.
With Lazio also thinking about Conte’s man, they could either make an unexpected approach or pull back, and if it’s the latter, Lo Celso will obviously take another path.
The Tottenham player’s addition to Lazio’s squad, even on a loan deal, would help them make a significant leap in quality.
At the same time, chairman Claudio Lotito rightly has to deal with finances and the economic strategies outlined so far.
Lazio haven’t managed to sort out the situation with Luis Alberto [wanted by Sevilla], while have not closed the deal for Atalanta’s Ivan Ilić.
Corriere ask whether Lazio should take the Serbian or hijack Lo Celso without securing the money from Alberto’s exit.
It’ll be interesting to see what Lazio plan to do and the possible consequences they could face, if they go ahead and secure the Spurs midfielder’s signature.
