Lazio are interested in making a possible last-minute move for Inter-owned forward Andrea Pinamonti.
As reported by Italian media outlet La Lazio Siamo Noi earlier today, the 22-year-old Italian striker has emerged as a strong target for the Biancocelesti as they search for a new backup striker, hoping to replace Vedat Muriqi before this month’s transfer window closes.

Pinamonti, who is currently on loan at Empoli, combines a strong physique with good technique and technical abilities. He has scored eight goals in 22 appearances this season for the Tuscan side, attracting the attention of Lazio.
The Biancocelesti are big fans of Pinamonti but would need to find a deal that convinces both Empoli and Inter. This could be a loan deal with a €12 million buy option attached.
