A number of Serie A clubs are having issues with the liquidity index including Lazio.
The liquidity index is the ratio between assets and short-term liabilities of teams. In January, only those who had a liquidity ratio of 0.6 could make transfer market moves, meaning that the assets had to cover at least 60% of the expenses, a condition that blocked many deals.

Updates are expected over the coming months, as the COVID pandemic continues to have significant implications on the finances of Serie A clubs.
