Lazio Shows Interest in Empoli’s Fazzini: Transfer Details Emerge

Lazio continues to pursue Empoli midfielder Jacopo Fazzini as a potential reinforcement for their squad. Although summer negotiations didn’t materialize, the Rome-based club may renew their efforts in the January transfer window.

Reports suggest that Empoli values the 20-year-old talent at €15 million. For Lazio, this could mean accelerating a planned summer investment to the winter period, aligning with their strategy of rejuvenating the team roster.

The Lazio management is carefully considering their options, taking into account potential departures and squad list restrictions. The club has openings for youth products but must sell players to accommodate new signings in other categories. However, Fazzini’s under-22 status exempts him from these constraints.

One challenge lies in the abundance of similar-profile players, with Gaetano Castrovilli already in the squad. Club president Claudio Lotito, sporting director Angelo Fabiani, and coach Davide Baroni are evaluating the situation, potentially considering Castrovilli’s departure to make room for Fazzini in the midfield.
