Gattuso cools Lazio transfer hopes after Genoa win, Ratkov departure confirmed | OneFootball

Gennaro Gattuso has delivered a reality check on Lazio’s late-window plans. According to The Laziali, the coach said the club are struggling to raise funds for additions.

The 48-year-old oversaw a second straight Serie A victory on Sunday, preserving a perfect start. Davide Frattesi struck the only goal to beat Genoa at the Stadio Olimpico.

Gattuso felt the collective press had improved, while urging sharper decision-making in key moments. With less than 48 hours left of the window, he is not anticipating reinforcements and is instead hoping the hierarchy keep the current group, with Petar Ratkov’s departure confirmed earlier in the day.

He provided fitness updates, adding Nicolo Rovella to the injured list after what appeared to be a muscle problem late in the first half. Reda Belahyane replaced him in the regista role and delivered a solid display, with the coach believing there is significant room for improvement.

Gattuso also praised Nuno Tavares, named MVP after creating the winner, and argued that the full-back’s best version would merit an elite club such as Real Madrid.
