Lazio have enjoyed a sudden surge in the price of their market shares, which came as a pleasant surprise amidst these turbulent times for the club.
A Challenging Summer for Lazio
In the last few months, the Biancocelesti suffered a late-season collapse on the pitch, which saw them miss out on European football altogether. Afterwards, they were handed a severe off-the-pitch blow, with COVISOC imposing a transfer ban, thus prohibiting them from signing any players this summer.
Season Tickets Effect?
Despite this gloomy image, Lazio’s stock prices rose by a whopping 8% in recent hours. Calcio e Finanza tried to make some sense out of this unexpected turn, mostly attributing it to the newly-found sense of optimism at the club, sparked by the elevated number of season-ticket sales.
Claudio Lotito Delighted with Lazio Fanbase
On Thursday, Lazio president Claudio Lotito expressed his gratitude to the fanbase, as more than 29,000 decided to purchase season tickets, in spite of what the patron described as a ‘complicated’ situation, referring to the absence of European football and the lack of new signings.
Lazio Share Price Closing in on €1
Lazio’s stock is now priced at €0.97 while the market capitalisation has reached €65 million. Nevertheless, the source warns that this price is rather flexible due to the limited number of shares in actual circulation. Hence, any operation involving Lazio stocks can cause a significant effect on the valuation.
can any rich guy buy the stocks of Lazio and take over it from Lotito?
Would you really want some sheiks or yanks to take over? Short-term success over long-term stability? I wouldn’t. There are certainly worse owners than Lottito. I don’t want us end up like Milan and Roma.
100%.
Club before business.
I’ve seen too many clubs lose track of what they’re about and become billionaire playthings.
