Insigne to Roma: talks ongoing, Sarri weighing priorities | OneFootball

The name of Lorenzo Insigne continues to orbit persistently around Lazio. This is not a new hypothesis, but one that has been ongoing for months and has recently gained new momentum, especially due to the offensive winger's desire to become a key player in Serie A again.

Insigne in Rome waiting for Lazio: contacts initiated, but Sarri evaluates priorities

Insigne is already in Rome, waiting for a concrete signal: "I'm just waiting for the right call."

A long-lasting flirtation

The dialogue between Insigne and Lazio has never truly been interrupted. The former Napoli captain has repeatedly expressed his willingness to embrace the biancoceleste project, considering it the ideal context to relaunch himself at high levels after his experience abroad.

From a technical standpoint, his profile is well-known and appreciated. Maurizio Sarri is the main sponsor of the operation: the Tuscan coach knows Insigne well, has praised his qualities in the past, and appreciates his tactical intelligence, ability to move between the lines, and impact in the final thirty meters.

Sarri's priorities and the tactical dilemma

Despite the admiration, Sarri has indicated other priorities to the management, particularly the inclusion of a midfielder capable of providing balance and quality to the midfield. This need is currently considered more urgent than acquiring an offensive winger.

However, Insigne remains a low-cost market opportunity, especially to expand options on the left wing. In the squad, Mattia Zaccagni does not have a true natural counterpart, and the former Napoli player could represent a credible, ready, and experienced alternative.

The over 22 list issue

The main obstacle at the moment is neither technical nor economic, but regulatory. To sign Insigne, Lazio would need to free up a slot in the over 22 list, which is currently full. This is a significant detail that forces the club to consider potential departures before making a decisive move.

Only in the case of a sale or a reshuffling of the squad could the operation become realistically feasible.

Insigne waits, Lazio reflects

The player pushes, the coach observes, the management reflects. The picture is clear: Insigne is ready, he is in Rome and waiting for developments. Lazio, for its part, does not close the door but proceeds cautiously, aware that every move must perfectly align with technical needs and regulatory constraints.
