As reported by Italian radio broadcaster Radiosei (via La Lazio Siamo Noi) earlier today, the Biancocelesti president will try to close out the deal for the 62-year-old Italian this evening, with Lotito underlining Sarri as his top option to replace Simone Inzaghi, who left Rome after five years in order to join Inter.
