Gattuso all but ends Lazio chase for Santiago Giménez | OneFootball

According to O Jogo, Gennaro Gattuso has all but dismissed Lazio’s move for Santiago Giménez, who is also being targeted by Porto.

Speaking after a friendly against Frosinone, the Italian coach underlined that the club want players eager to be in Rome, and he is not in the business of persuading reluctant signings.

He said nothing can be promised in football. Anyone arriving must be ready to work hard this season, otherwise there is no point. The remarks suggested Giménez is not keen on joining.

The Mexico international is a Porto target to strengthen their attack, and any cooling of Lazio interest could ease the competition.

Gattuso’s stance indicates Lazio will prioritise players convinced by the project over those needing persuasion.
