Lazio have categorically refuted the circulating reports regarding their transfer market crisis and inability to sign new players this summer.
Lazio Facing Dire Situation?
Several sources in the Italian press depicted a catastrophic scenario on Thursday, mainly Il Messaggero and Il Corriere dello Sport. These reports claimed that COVISOC (the body that monitors the clubs’ finances in Italy) has decided to block the Biancocelesti’s transfer market plans. In other words, the club would be allowed to sell players, but is prevented from signing new ones.
Lazio Deny ‘Misleading’ Reports
Nevertheless, Lazio have now released a statement on the club’s official website denying the whole story, while insisting that the club remains in a healthy financial situation and will be able to conduct business as usual.
With regard to the misleading news reported today by some press outlets regarding the Company’s financial and economic situation, it is necessary to clarify that there is no reason for concern.
SS Lazio has its own resources and a consolidated management structure, which for over twenty years has faced every step with clarity, responsibility and rigor.
Economic and financial solidity, the sustainability of the sports project and strategic coherence have always represented, and even more so today, the pillars on which the Club’s identity is founded.
Only Time Will Tell
At this stage, Lazio supporters can only hope that the club’s reassurances turn out to be true; Otherwise, the Aquile would be set for an abysmal summer. The coming days should shed some light on this highly concerning matter.
I really hope this is true. Otherwise we are completely lost.
Not only that my friend, but if true and Lazio is as stable as Lotito claims, misleading is illegal in the UK and I have a feeling it is the same in Italy. Meaning Urbano Cairo has certain government officials to answer questions and be liable! Isn’t it? How long we accept this? It is damaging not only for the image of Lazio as a company(listed on the stock market) but to our functioning because other clubs/players might turn around hearing these statements. Enough is enough
The problem is Olimpico. Big stadium owned by city with that stupid running track. Laziali are too far away from the field. Club need its own stadio to get more income and we despretly need a working academy. Rome is a huge city and there are plenty of talented boys to work with. If we could get regular stadio income (from concerts etc) + if we could train our own talents and sell them like Ajax or Borussia we could fight for the top again. But it’s a long journey.
Absolutely agree, spot on mate.
i agree with you Laziale! but i’m afraid that i wont see it in my life time, and im 41!
