A nice gift under the tree. Disguised as Santa Claus, the Market Control Commission yesterday confirmed what had already emerged after Monday’s meeting: the Lazio in January it will be able to operate freely on the market again. A big sigh of relief after the frustration of the last few months from which Sarrinot without difficulty, managed to alienate the team, in the hope of a green light at the beginning of the new year which fortunately has arrived. We revealed to you that the day before yesterday the Biancoceleste club was just over the threshold of80% expected for the expanded labor cost indicator.
A surplus between 0.2 and 0.3% that can be remedied with an injection of less than one million euros. Minimum fee that Lotito he could have paid either out of his own pocket or by taking advantage of the March credit Dazn as per the recent FIGC modification to article 90 paragraph 5 of the Noif. But in the end neither one nor the other way will serve. In fact, after another check the “incriminated” gap was further reduced until it returned to the much desired threshold, confirming the initial idea of the Commission to grant unblocking immediately without having to go through an initial “zero balance” market.
RENEWALS
The club is no longer with its hands tied, but is free to act on multiple fronts, starting with renewals. In fact, the unblocking will allow us to resume talks with the various players who are out of contract. Until now Lotito could only offer the same salaries spread over several years, but in this way it will be possible to meet the requests. Basic for example, he asks for a salary approaching 2 million. The owner has offered 1.6 (current salary), but could raise the bar by trying to convince the former Bordeaux player, who will already be able to reach agreements with other clubs from January given the deadline of 30 June. The same as Hysaj, Pedro e Neighborwhich society is instead ready to say goodbye to Marusicwith which we will try to re-establish relations that have deteriorated after the promise of an adjustment was not kept.
A bit like Romagnoliexpiring in 2027, that the award has been waiting for him for two years, while for Gila there now seems to be no more hope, with Chelsea, Bournemouth, Milan and Inter in the window. But beware of getting caught up in the euphoria. It is right to give priority to renewals, but judgment will be needed for purchases. The loot available after failing to qualify in Europa is residual and the risk of missing it again (in addition to the persistent absence of other income such as the sponsor) does nothing but increase the specter of new future blocks on the market, without forgetting that the labor cost threshold extended to the next half-yearly report of March 30th will drop to 70%.
THE CANDIDATES
Moral of the story, it will remain appropriate to make capital gains, but after the news of the unblocked transfer Sarri will return to office with the management insisting on his names: Loftus-Cheek (Besiktas also likes it), Samardzic e Ilic in midfield, Martín in defense, Raspadori (very close to Roma) and Insigne in attack. Fabiani for his part will reiterate his list, with Brescianini e Maldini of Atalanta, of whom he spoke in the meeting with Riso last week, Netz of Mönchengladbach and other occasions such as Gaaei of Ajax, but more for June. While we are waiting to schedule incoming attempts, there may soon be news coming out.
Al-Ittihad wants Nuno Tavaresbut Lazio at the moment is not moving from a request of at least 15 million euros given the 35% that must be paid into Arsenal’s coffers. Panathinaikos would put 10 on the plate for Sendbut the latter would prefer to join Baroni at Turin, while the club is leaning towards an exchange with Leali from Genoa. Second lines that could come in handy. It remains to be understood whether for Sarri’s project or that of Lazio, not always hand in hand.
