Promising Lazio youngster Sana Fernandes caused controversy on social media with a post that seemed to contain a dig towards the club. Il Corriere dello Sport (via La Lazio Siamo Noi) sheds light on the story, revealing the background that caused the episode.
The 18-year-old is widely considered the club’s most exciting young talent. The Biancocelesti poached his services from Sporting Lisbon in the summer of 2022. Last season, the winger was one of the main protagonists in what was a brilliant campaign for Lazio’s Primavera squad; this earned Sana Fernandes a chance to prove his worth with the senior squad during the pre-season training camp at Auronzo di Cadore.
Lazio Youngster Sana Fernandes Unhappy with the Club?
However, in recent days, the teenager caused a stir by posting a story on his Instagram account saying: “You can be worth a lot, but if you are in the wrong place, you will never be appreciated.”
While many presumed that this quote is directed towards the Lazio management, the youngster later clarified through another story that it has nothing to do with the club. Nevertheless, Corriere dello Sport disregards the player’s justification, instead reporting a rift between him and the management.
As the Roman newspaper explains, Sana Fernandes received an offer from NAC Breda and was hoping to join the Dutch side who promised to grant him a fair chance to prove his worth. However, Lazio decided to block the operation much to the teenager’s dismay. The source also notes that the player’s future will be decided in the next few weeks.
It means he is seen as a better alternative to Cancellieri. Sana deserves a chance, Baroni might be the guy who launches the 🚀 and the kid explodes (hopefully ❤️)
Sana if you read this message: there’s a reason they don’t allow you to go, trust the plan you will get your chances this year! Dajeeee
