Lazio are not in a hurry to decide on the future of Loum Tchaouna, while Maurizio Sarri feels Giacomo Raspadori might have the same development as Dries Mertens, while Nicolò Rovella won’t leave unless his €50m clause is met.
Lazio are not planning to make drastic changes to their squad for the 2025-26 season, despite the appointment of Sarri as their new coach.
I can confirm Tchaouna has attracted interest from Burnley and PSV, but the Biancocelesti have yet to make a final decision on the French winger’s future.
Milan midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a primary candidate in midfield, but Bologna’s Giovanni Fabbian is also on Lazio’s agenda.
West Ham’s Emerson Palmieri is seen as a potential replacement for Nuno Tavares at left-back, but the Italian defender has a high salary. The Biancocelesti are also watching Ben Chilwell (Chelsea) and Aaron Martin (Genoa).
Napoli’s Raspadori is a primary target in attack, as Sarri feels he can have the same development as Mertens at Napoli. The Belgian started his spell at the Stadio Maradona as a winger but reached his career peak as a false nine under the Tuscan tactician.
As for now, Lazio are only following the above-mentioned players and have not started formal talks.
As for Rovella, the Italian midfielder has a €50m clause and Lazio are unwilling to accept a lower offer. Therefore, anyone who wants to sign the Regista must match this fee and convince the player to leave.
