A report from Calcio e Finanza explains how Lazio plan to fund their project to renovate the Stadio Flaminio project.
The Biancocelesti are looking to have their own stadiums, thus parting ways from Roma, with whom they share the Stadio Olimpico. Lazio president Claudio Lotito identified the currently-defunct Stadio Flaminio as the best available option. But as the source explains, renovating this ground and the surrounding area will cost them circa €438 million or slightly more.
The report thus reveals how the club plans to finance this major long-term project. The bulk of the investment will be provided by a 30-year loan worth €283 million. Moreover, another €85.6 million will arrive from self-financing plus another €24 million from public contributions.
Lazio will be looking to finalise the bureaucratic procedures by the start of 2026 and are aiming to finish the renovation work by the summer of 2029. However, they still have to beat competition from the Roma Nuoto project who are also hoping to secure an agreement with the Roma municipality for the same area.
Once Lazio move to their new home, they would be able to count on several revenue streams to repay their debt. This includes improved matchday revenues, the stadium’s naming rights, VIP boxes and various sponsorships, in addition to hosting social and sporting events.
Finally, the club plans to present a stadium that meets the requirements of ‘UEFA Category 4’ and thus eligible to host matches in Euro 2032 which will be held in Italy and Turkiye.

'It’s hard…' – Chelsea star couldn’t sleep after dramatic last minute moment
Estevao is going to be a global superstar, that’s just a fact. There’s no way around it. He’s good enough, and he looks to have the personality. He’s grounded, with a good family to support him, but also has that right amount of desire to be the main character too. Estevao on Stamford Bridge return As part of that, he’s learning English and doing more and more media as he also increases his playing time. “I thank you for all the love I’ve received from you and all the support I’ve had at Stamford Bridge,” Estevao said in an interview with the club’s official website. “I’m so happy, it’s a dream to be here and to play at the Bridge. Thank you for that love and I hope to repay you out on the pitch.” His most special moment so far, the one which announced him to the world, was his winning goal against Liverpool in the 95th minute a few weeks ago. He talked about what a feeling that was to have scored at Stamford Bridge in those circumstances. “It’s hard to sleep after a moment like that with the adrenaline flowing, but I was just so happy.” If he goes on to have the sort of career we expect him to, that goal could end up with the same sort of resonance that a teenage Wayne Rooney’s goal against Arsenal has. In other news… In his press conference today, Enzo Maresca spoke about his criticism of his squad post game, and blamed its harshness on a translation issue. Earlier in the presser, Maresca had spoken a little about the red card Delap picked up and how he had been forced to speak to the whole team about their disciplinary issues.
Three teams that should pursue a trade for Titans WR Calvin Ridley
As the Tennessee Titans are free falling towards another season as one of the NFL's worst teams, they will likely sell off some of their higher priced players before the NFL's Nov. 4 trade deadline. Wide receiver Calvin Ridley tops the list of available players on the trade block even as he deals with a hamstring injury. Ridley's big play ability makes him an attractive option for teams looking to add another wide receiver. Even though he's been experiencing an up and down season so far - Ridley has only 16 receptions for 290 yards, he surpassed 1,000 yards in each of the past two seasons following sitting out 2022 due to being suspended for betting. So assuming Ridley is healthy enough to remain a trade target, here are the teams that should take a chance on the controversial wide out. Pittsburgh Steelers Aaron Rodgers may have stabilized the Steelers' quarterback position, but that doesn't mean the offense is as consistent as it needs to be for Pittsburgh to truly contend in the AFC. Pittsburgh has only exceeded 30 points twice through seven games. Desperate to increase their offensive output, especially with the defense struggling, the Steelers could use more receiver depth behind DK Metcalf. Acquiring Ridley would provide Rodgers another weapon and make the decision to place double coverage on Metcalf more of a risk for opponents. If Ridley can get back to form, he would unlock an extra dimension for a Steelers team that still holds a comfortable lead in the AFC North. New England Patriots One of the surprising results of the season so far, the Patriots are 6-2 and in first place in the AFC East. But if New England truly hopes to make a playoff push, second-year quarterback Drake Maye may need more at his disposal. To this point, Maye has been forced to work without a true deep threat. And while he's been able to methodically move the ball, Ridley would make his life much easier and stretch the field even more. Seattle Seahawks Another first place team who could use another playmaker, the Seattle Seahawks' offense has started to show signs of weakness in recent weeks. Much like the Steelers, the Seahawks have a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver in Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Month for October. He's been brilliant with three-straight 100 plus-yard games. However, Seattle has only scored 30 points once in its last four games. Pairing Smith-Njigba with Ridley would make the Seahawks more potent as they approach a stretch of the schedule with pivotal divisional matchups coming up.
Warriors castoff has a career night against his old team
The Golden State Warriors traded away Ryan Rollins in 2023 after one season and 12 games with the team. Thursday night, Rollins showed the Warriors what they missed out on. With Giannis Antetokounmpo out with an injury, Rollins scored a career-high 32 points and dished out eight assists as the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Warriors, 120-110. Rollins went 5-for-7 from three-point range, tying his career best, and went 13-for-21 overall. In the last four minutes after the Warriors got within points, Rollins had eight points and an assists. Oh, and he outscored Stephen Curry, 32-27. Warriors gave up on Ryan Rollins after one season Golden State traded up to draft Rollins with the No. 44 pick in the 2022 draft, believing that the then-19-year-old guard from Toledo could help it reload their championship roster, which was getting up in age. But Rollins missed Summer League due to a foot injury, then suffered a season-ending Jones fracture. After the season, the Warriors sent Rollins and fellow 2022 draftee Patrick Baldwin, Jr. to the Washington Wizards along with Jordan Poole. In exchange, they got 38-year-old Chris Paul, a serious reversal in the team's earlier youth movement. Rollins was included in the deal to help the Warriors dump Poole's contract, which spanned four more seasons, and to ditch his own guaranteed deal. After a troubled partial season in Washington, the Wizards waived Rollins and he caught on with the Bucks in February 2024. Ryan Rollins' huge night showed the 23-year-old's improvement One game after Rollins had a career-high 25 points against the New York Knicks, he set another career high, this time without Antetokounmpo there to score 37 points and take up the defense's attention. Even with a great defensive player like Jimmy Butler on him, Rollins delivered in the clutch. Rollins has gone 9-for-11 from three-point range in his last two games, but it doesn't feel like a fluke. Last year he shot 40.8% on threes and hit 80% of his free throws, a strong indicator Rollins can truly shoot the ball. He also had 12 steals in his first four games, and while he didn't have a takeaway Thursday night, Rollins has more steals than turnovers (10) on the season and an excellent assist-to-turnover ratio of 5-to-2. Last season, Rollins was a solid reserve, averaging 6.2 points and 1.9 assists while starting 19 games. But with Damian Lillard suffering an Achilles tear and then being waived by the Bucks, Rollins got an opportunity, and got an even bigger one when Kevin Porter, Jr. sprained his ankle in the season opener. Rollins looks like he's going to have a serious future in the NBA. Unfortunately for the Warriors, that future won't be with them.
Mariners Can Afford To Cut Ties With 5-Year Veteran
The Seattle Mariners, unfortunately, are on the outside looking in right now with the World Series still in full swing. The Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers are still duking it out for the trophy, as of writing, and the Mariners are among the 28 other teams in Major League Baseball having to start to think about the 2026 season. Seattle was so close to making it to its first World Series in franchise history. As close as you can get without making it, being Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. Now, the Mariners have to try to flush all of that away and find a way to get even better in 2026. Those decisions will come. There will be free agent additions, maybe some trades, and other things of that nature. But, with the offseason here, teams have to also take care of some tasks right away, including the Nov. 21st deadline for player to decide whether to give contracts to arbitration-eligible players. It will be some of the first big decisions of the offseason. MLB.com Mariners insider Daniel Kramer did a primer for the offseason and one player they suggested could be non-tendered is veteran reliever Tayler Saucedo. "Who might be a non-tender candidate, and when does the club have to make that decision? Teams have until Nov. 21 to decide whether to tender a contract to each of their arbitration-eligible players," Kramer said. "Those not tendered a contract will become free agents. It would make sense to move on from Tayler Saucedo "Among those criteria, reliever Tayler Saucedo is the clearest candidate, given that this is his second year of eligibility, that he’d earn at least the $937,500 figure from last year and that he spent most of 2025 with Triple-A Tacoma, where the lefty also missed two months with a left lat strain." In an offseason that will have plenty of decisions, this is a suggestion that makes a lot of sense. Saucedo made only 10 appearances for the Mariners in 2025 and had a 7.43 ERA to show for it. He was steady for Seattle the two previous seasons in 2023 and 2024. In 2023, he had a 3.59 ERA in 52 outings. He followed up with a 3.49 ERA in 53 appearances in 2024. Seattle had one of the better bullpens in baseball in 2025. The Mariners finished the regular season with the ninth-ranked bullpen ERA at 3.72 and that was with Saucedo only pitching in 10 games. If the Mariners are looking for some potential ways to save some cash, this would be a good way, but not to save a lot. More MLB: Josh Naylor Raises Eyebrows With Comment On Cal Raleigh's Instagram
