Lazio received delightful news on Tuesday, as the transfer ban has been completely lifted ahead of the January transfer window.
Lazio Have Been Banned from Signing New Players Since June
The Biancocelesti were infamously prevented from signing any new players last summer due to their unbalanced accounts. This was a major blow for Maurizio Sarri, who had been promised at least three new players upon his return to the club to help him implement his style of play.
Therefore, the manager has been forced to work with virtually the same squad that was at Marco Baroniโs disposal last season, while the clubโs rivals reinforced themselves by adding new players to their ranks.
Lazio Have Managed to Lift the Transfer Ban
Luckily for Lazio, they were able to adjust their accounts to fall within the required parameters. Hence, the supervisory committee that oversees the finances of Italian football clubs has given the green light for the Biancocelesti to resume their activity on the market as normal. The club announced the news through their social accounts.
S.S. Lazio can operate freely in the January transfer market. The season now enters a new phase, with every opportunity to strengthen the sporting project being assessed promptly, carefully and responsibly.
A clear vision, consistent work and well-considered decisions: the Club continues on its path with the aim of building value, while respecting its identity and growth plans. An expected outcome, confirming the solidity and stability of the Club.
The future is built step by step.

Before the announcement was made, some sources had speculated that the committee would only partially lift the ban, forcing the club to work under zero-cost parameters, meaning that they would only be able to sign new players by selling others. But instead, the official note made it clear that Lazio will be able to operate on the market without any restrictions.
Why Lazio Remain in the Danger Zone
That being said, Claudio Lotito and Angelo Fabiani must remain mindful of the balance sheet, especially with the required cost-to-revenue ratio dropping from 80% to 70% ahead of next summerโs transfer market. In other words, Lazio still have to improve their accounts to avoid another transfer ban, which could force them to sacrifice some of their most prized assets next month.
