Lazio President Claudio Lotito Held a Meeting with Napoli Legend’s Agent | OneFootball

Lazio president Claudio Lotito met with the agent of Lorenzo Insigne to discuss the possibility of a future transfer.

The Background

The Biancocelesti are prevented from making any signings this summer due to a transfer ban resulting from their most recent financial report, which failed to meet the required standards. Therefore, Maurizio Sarri has been forced to work with the same squad that was at Marco Baroni’s disposal last season, in addition to the returning Danilo Cataldi and Matteo Cancellieri.

In the meantime, Insigne made his return to Italy following an underwhelming three-year stint with Toronto FC, and he remains unattached. The 34-year-old has received several offers from Serie A clubs, but he insists on holding out for Lazio, as he’s still dreaming of a reunion with Sarri, who coached him at Napoli between 2015 and 2018.

According to Sportitalia and The Laziali journalist Alfredo Pedullà, Udinese made a new attempt to sign the Euro 2020 winner in recent days, but the player is determined to wait for Lazio. Therefore, his agent held a meeting with Lotito to enquire about the club’s situation and ability to make new signings.

When Will Lazio Lift the Ban

The Italian capital side will be hoping to lift the ban as soon as possible, but it remains to be seen if it can be done between September and October, or will instead have to wait until January. If Lazio succeed in this mission in the coming weeks, they would be able to sign Insigne as a free agent, even if the transfer market is closed.
