Lazio are aware that serious quality is needed in the midfield this summer and have identified five options to strengthen the squad.
The Biancocelesti will soon lose Luis Alberto to Qatari side Al-Duhail and Daichi Kamada will leave on a free transfer, leaving some gaping holes in the squad. There was a lack of creativity and scoring, and the odds now reflect this for next season, as you can see on Smart Pokies website. There are also endless rumours surrounding the future of Matteo Guendouzi, who doesn’t have a strong relationship with Igor Tudor.
