Lazio, Sarri on Insigne: Like a son, but club has other priorities | OneFootball

During yesterday's post-match in the Cup, Maurizio Sarri addressed one of the most discussed topics around Lazio: the possible interest in Lorenzo Insigne.

Lazio, Sarri holds back on Insigne: “To me, he is almost like a son, but the club must think about priorities”

The coach responded clearly, maintaining a personal yet professional tone, useful for understanding the real market scenario.

“Insigne? I have no idea. We talked with the club about other roles; then, once those are covered, we’ll see. I am fond of the boy, I consider him almost like a son, we spent three intense years together, and he is a wonderful person. But the club must deal with its own priorities, because the fundamental roles were others.”

Words that do not close the door but lower expectations: the potential return of Insigne to Serie A will depend primarily on the economic conditions and Lazio's strategy for January, still to be defined between an open market or constraints tied to a zero balance.

A special relationship, but a market to consider carefully

The affection between Sarri and Insigne is well-known, built during the three years shared at Napoli, years that marked the technical and character growth of the forward. Despite this bond, Sarri reiterates a principle: choices must respect the club's planning.

It is not about isolated technical evaluations, but a broader context involving budget, roles to be covered, and the sustainability of the squad.

Insigne and Lazio: an intriguing idea, not a priority

The potential Insigne operation remains in the background, more as a suggestion than an imminent negotiation. The Lazio, first of all, must complete the essential additions and only afterwards can evaluate complementary opportunities.

Sarri's message is clear: respect and affection, yes, but market decisions will take precedence over any personal ties.
