Lazio president Claudio Lotito will meet with Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao tomorrow to discuss business.

The cryptocurrency exchange became the Biancocelesti’s main shirt sponsor earlier this year and the two businessman will meet tomorrow to discuss the progress of the partnership and whether an extension is likely. The current deal expires in 2023 but there’s an option to extend it until 2024.

As detailed by La Lazio Siamo Noi, relations between Lotito and Zhao (commonly known as CZ) are excellent and the meeting will have a relaxed and cordial atmosphere. The Binance CEO has quickly become a fan favourite figure in Rome and many are now dreaming that a possible takeover could happen in the future.

A few days ago, after Luis Alberto’s beautiful goal against Sampdoria, CZ responded to Lazio’s tweet announcing the goal with the stunned eyes emoji. Fans immediately began to flood him with messages, begging him to buy the club.

The Chinese-Canadian businessman, who is the 13th richest man in the world according to Bloomberg, is really enjoying following Lazio and he’s been massively amused by the messages sent by the fans.
