Lazio ‘to consider selling’ Edoardo Motta in January for capital gains | OneFootball

Lazio could consider offers for goalkeeper Edoardo Motta in January as they look to generate capital gains amid financial strain.

According to Il Messaggero, meeting the 0.7 cost-to-revenue ratio makes fully unblocking the winter window unlikely, with the half-yearly financial statement due on Wednesday. The club therefore risks a transfer ban in January 2027 or another net-zero market.

Despite net-zero limits, Lazio added seven players in the summer, including Davide Frattesi and Josip Sutalo. Most arrivals were free or loans, while Andrea Pinamonti signed permanently and Sassuolo are due sizeable bonuses next summer, so funds may be needed before June.

Motta, 21, is a Juventus youth product who emerged with Reggiana in Serie B. He joined for
million last January, replacing Christos Mandas after Mandas moved to Bournemouth on loan.

His value is now put at around
8-10 million following standout displays in Rome. He deputised for the injured Ivan Provedel last term and was the hero in Coppa Italia shootouts against Atalanta.

This season he has been understudy to Mandas, though he impressed again in Sundays friendly against Arezzo with five superb saves. Gennaro Gattuso appreciates having two reliable options, yet Claudio Lotito and Angelo Fabiani might sell for capital gains if the right offer arrives in January.
