Lazio’s Financial Report Confirms High Costs of Muriqi & Fares Last Summer

Lazio have released their Half-Year Financial Report today, which shows the total cost of last summer’s transfer market.

According to a report from Italian media outlet La Lazio Siamo Noi earlier today, the Biancocelesti’s management approved the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Report, which ends on 31 December 2020.

Within the report were the total costs of the moves in the summer transfer window, which confirmed that the Roman club paid €19.9 million to Fenerbahce for Kosovan forward Vedat Muriqi. Lazio also paid €8 million for Algerian wing back Mohamed Fares.

Considering the shaky performances of the pair this campaign, the Biancocelesti’s important investment has so far not paid off.

Below is an extract from the report:
