At 38-years-old, Pepe Reina isn’t precisely the long-term solution for Lazio in goal. Although Reina is under contract for one more season, after several sub-par performances this season, it seems unlikely that the club will select him to be the starter for the 2021/22 season.
In addition, Thomas Strakosha might not be the one to lead Lazio in goal; after losing his starting position to the Spanish veteran, he has also been linked with a move away from Rome this summer.

Rico has spent the last two seasons with the French giants, where he’s the backup goalkeeper behind Keylor Navas, and it seems as though the 27-year-old has learned enough under Navas and wants to be a starter elsewhere.
