Inter will pay Lazio €22 million-plus €4 million in add-ons for the 27-year-old Lazzari, with the Biancocelesti then planning to reinvest that money into the squad in order to sign wingers suited to Maurizio Sarri’s 4-3-3 system.

Lazzari, who is contracted to Lazio until 2024, made 32 Serie A appearances this season, for a total of 2620 minutes. In that time, he scored two goals and provided six assists.
