Despite what some circulating reports are claiming, Ciro Immobile returning to Lazio is a mere fantasy story.
The 35-year-old left the Biancocelesti last summer after eight unforgettable years, joining Turkish giants, Besiktas. While his tally this season wasn’t half bad, the veteran striker is apparently feeling homesick, which suggests leaving the peninsula was an ill-advised decision in hindsight. Therefore, he is gunning for a return to Serie A, and is now close to joining Bologna.
The Rossoblu’s manager, Vincenzo Italiano, has requesed the arrival of a new No.9 with different characteristics. He currently has Thijs Dallinga and Santiago Castro at his disposal, but apparently seeks a more experienced profile.
Why Ciro Immobile Won’t Return to Lazio
As for the rumors claiming that Immobile could rejoin Lazio, those stories are completely unfounded. At this point, we can confirm there’s zero chance of the Euro 2020 winner re-signing for the Aquile.
It should be remembered that the former Lazio captain didn’t leave the club on good terms. On the contrary, there were some fractures in the relationship with hierarchy, and he may have stirred the pot on some occasions which played a part in Maurizio Sarri’s resignation in March 2024. This was something that Claudio Lotito had alluded to in recent statements.
And finally, let’s not forget that Lazio are prevented from making any signings due to a ban imposed by COVISOC.
Grazie Ciro, ma no. His chapter has ended. He would bring only bad blood to the organization. Plus he is 35, he’s not good enough to be first striker anymore. We all saw his decline in performance.
21/22 – 32 goals, one every 105 mins
22/23 – 14 goals, one every 195 mins
23/24 – 11 goals, one every 214 mins
With age he lost speed and is more prone to injuries. Plus we currently have no technical trequartistas like Luis Alberto to support him with smart passes. His numbers would again dropped.
F*ck you, and Sarri too ..
^ Pedro is 37 🤔
As much as I’d live to see him back i doubt it will happen .
