Lazio president Claudio Lotito is in the process of negotiating bonuses for the squad based on both the Conference League and a top five finish this season.

The Biancocelesti have looked painfully inconsistent on the European stage this season, dropping down to the Conference League after a third place finish in their Europa League group.

Lazio secured a 1-0 aggregate win over CFR Cluj in their knockout play-off clash, but fell 2-1 to AZ Alkmaar in the first leg of their Round of 16 tie, setting up a tough task for Maurizio Sarri and the squad.

As reported by Radiosei (via La Lazio Siamo Noi), Lazio president Lotito has two clear objectives in mind for this season: qualification for the Champions League or Europa League, and winning the Conference League.

The Biancocelesti president is now working on ironing out a bonus agreement with the squad ahead of the next clash with AZ Alkmaar.
