Introduction and Overview

Speaker
Welcome to the Italian Football Podcast. Hello everybody and welcome back to another Mercato transfer window deep dive club specific one.

Lazio's Recent Turmoil

00:00:13
Speaker
um After we did ah Napoli with Vincenzo Credendino and we did Juventus with Mirco Di Natale, we now we decided that we have to go with Lazio because it's been an absolutely crazy few months at Lazio. And we're so delighted to be joined once again by our good friend ah Valerio Marcanjali, who writes and covers Lazio for the biggest newspaper in Rome in Massagero. He covers Lazio. He does lots of things. but He's all over the new all over the media covering Lazio and Italian football. So we're really delighted to have him back. Welcome back, Valerio. How are you doing?
00:00:51
Speaker
Thank you very much. Thank you very much, Nima. I'm doing well in Rome. There's a very, very, very hot weather, but I'm feeling good. And you? I'm good in this age of ah Mark Violet and and everything that's happening, which you were joking about before. um that That is a story that can only come from Italy and specifically only come from Rome and Naples. ah nowhere else is this possible. But we're not going to talk too much about

Igor Tudor's Departure

00:01:21
Speaker
that. Let's start with Lazio, because although it might not be as crazy as Marco Violi, Claudio Lottito does give people a run for their money in terms of madness. um One of the things to start with is Igor Tudor. What happened?
00:01:39
Speaker
with With Igor Tudor, ah there was a difficult situation because ah um between Tudor and the players, first of all, there wasn't a good relationship. And at the end of the season, ah Tudor wanted to to um to to sell a about five, six or seven players. He said that for his football, they they weren't good. And ah ah the in the beginning, Lottito and the president Lottito and also the sports director Angelo Fabiani wanted Tudor
00:02:31
Speaker
to change the mentality of the of the team but let's show um can to can't spend a lot of money like, I don't know, Manchester City, like Real Madrid, it's clear. And then if you are a coach and if you ask she asked to me to sell ah five or six players, also important players, what what can I do? Because I have to i have to sell them
00:03:10
Speaker
I have to sell them and I have to buy other important on players. And then I have to spend a lot of money for this and also for not good relationship but with the the environment, with the supporters. you At the end, ah Tudor um decided to to leave Lazu. And it was incredible, it was it was incredible sorry. Because ah ah in three months, almost three months, two important coaches decided this. Because before Tudor, they were sorry.
00:03:54
Speaker
that's that's That's exactly what it looked like from the outside. which were these who Who were these players that Tudor wanted to sell? Tudor, I don't know if I if i can if i can say, but ah ah one for one, ju and I think that it's not a secret, because with Matteo Gendousi, there were problems since the experience in Marsilia.
00:04:29
Speaker
like And then a here in Rome, there were all other problems because their relationship was similar to the the period in Marsilia. And Tudor didn't like ah also the mentality and the approach of other players, like, for example, Luis Alberto. And the um the there was um there there were um were the words of Luis Alberto after after a game. I think also you you you wrote this when when he said,
00:05:19
Speaker
I'm ready to live that show. i give ah I will give everything to the end of the season, but after the end of of the season, I want to go, I want to go, I want to live. And it's not ah is not to too good to say some song something like this in April when the end is not closed, it's not completed.
00:05:46
Speaker
And especially Luis Alberto, he said it like a million times. How many times has he said he's going to leave Lazio? Like it's every summer, it's his problem. I think 100, 100, 91. But never like this year. Never never like this year. totally crazy, totally crazy, fantastic player, fantastic player, but totally crazy because you can't, you can't go, you can't go in a TV in front of the TV in an interview and say that. and say that
00:06:21
Speaker
but It's mad, it's absolute mad. It's madness, it's class and it's madness. But also other players like Chi-re Mobile, I think that Tudor and said that Lazio would the will change
00:06:45
Speaker
have to have to change ah more players too ah to have a a new cycle. okay But not seven or eight players or nine players. a little bit more because also Lazio thinks this. And then we we could we could the we um we can see that for this ah this start this beginning of transfer market because I i don't remember and a beginning of transfer market
00:07:22
Speaker
like this. no No, I can't, like we're used to craziness in Italian football and in Rome clubs and Naples and in particular, but this has been, this has really been like, even by Lazio standards, this has been crazy. Yes, yes. clear clear you, three players went to to to other clubs and then you have to replace them and okay because Felipe Anderson went to Palmeiras, Luis Alberto went to, and went to Alduale and then also Daichi Kamada went to Cristal Panos and at the beginning you have to replace them.
00:08:09
Speaker
yeah But um by by now, but because there was there is another another um ah player that Lazio is near to buy, and this Gaetano Castro Vili, and it's the fifth of this beginning of trust market yeah the The fourth is not ours, but we we will we will talk about this. yeah Yeah, we're going to talk about all of the Camada thing, because that was also insane.

New Leadership and Fan Reactions

00:08:34
Speaker
um Let's talk about the coach first because all of a sudden it was Marco Baroni who was appointed and Lazio fans were not happy to put it mildly so okay but I need to to say something about this one thing putin because the problem for the supporters there wasn't Marco Baroni
00:08:57
Speaker
But there is a problem with the the president, Latino, because because for for the supporters, when you um you know when you when you see that the important players went to go to other club, and you see that your club, and then last year, by players, young players and that you you don't know if if are if they are ready for this step in his career and then for this
00:09:38
Speaker
for this, the supporters was ah were sorry, but also now had some problems with them with the society, with with the club. But there there weren't problems with Baroni. No, no, no, no. That's important to to to to say, and and because because I get that. um I just wanted to ask, was he the first choice, Lazio's first choice, to replace Tudor? Yes, or he was yes ah for the sports director Fabiani. Fabiani chose Baroni after Tudor left But ah the president, Lutito,
00:10:34
Speaker
like I think it's i think two years that like some paladino and italiano but and e by now and also for the last year i He in everything Fabiani. And then for the the first step, ever from the first second, Fabiani said, and we have to we have to buy we have to we have to choose ah Marco Baroni. And then Lottito said, okay.
00:11:21
Speaker
that's That's good because I think when when the president trusts the sporting director, usually a club does well. If the sporting director is competent, then I think Fabiani is competent. um The pitch will say if Fabiani for this summer ah were was a competent or... Not, yeah that's true. But I just wanted to say Beppe Marotta was very praising this appointment. I read a statement that Marotta said he thought Baroni was an excellent appointment and he congratulated Lazio on that appointment. But not only Marotta, for example also Sarri, Sarri called Baroni after he seen after reing
00:12:09
Speaker
But more um more coaches, more Italian coaches, because in the last two years Veronie saved Lece and Verona in a very difficult situations. He performed a miracle with Hellas Verona. Like a miracle. It was a miracle. um I wanted to ask you just quickly about Sergio Conseissau. who oh okay is had was he linked at all? Was he close? Was there any talks with Lazio? But Sergio Conceso was more a dream, more a supporter's dream, yeah like a Lazio plan. okay And i I don't know if there if there was a call,
00:13:04
Speaker
but I don't think so. no and Almost, almost ah I don't know, almost a simply call, but I don't think so. no e Because i I repeat, Fabiani chose but chose Baroni. yes So let's talk about players that left. You've already mentioned a few.

Key Player Departures

00:13:31
Speaker
We have to start with the most obvious one, which was was crazy, Daichi Kamada. Like there were so many rumors of ah surrounding him about him having to, was it? And he came out and declined it. So, you know, there was a report saying that Daichi Kamada had to pay a hundred euros to activate the option with Lazio. Kamada came out and said, that's absolute nonsense.
00:13:56
Speaker
What happened? Why did Lazio lose him? ah With Kamada, there was a film, a very very strange film, like, I don't know, I got a Christi like this. We have to start to um to last year, to last summer, because Lazio...
00:14:24
Speaker
convinced Kamada to join to the Bianco Celeste, but there were ah very important teams that wanted him. But the the agents that took him to Formelo were very good. And then he started to to play with Lazio and there was a and supporters, but not only supporters, also Sarri loved him.
00:15:01
Speaker
For the start of the season ah in the start of the season, Kamada played the every match. every match but Sarri, step by step, relegated him to to the bench. And then Kamada, month by month, wanted to to go to another club because he chose the Serie A to play for forever the
00:15:37
Speaker
for um forever um the um the convocation I don't know if it's convocation but the selection yeah that's called yeah yes the selection with the with Japan and and nothing he wants to to play well ah in ah in Syria and and nothing and then and only ah only the the change in the in the bench and then when arrived two door two door if there if there was a a player
00:16:10
Speaker
that Tudor loved and Tudor asked to the as to Lothito that he has to remain in in Lazio, this player was the Ishikamada. and then and but But after with the the agent, there ah there were some some problems or so also for the the close. And ah because the agent ah wanted to ah to have only ah one
00:16:46
Speaker
another year of contract but the first ah um the first ah and the the first bullet the first deal in the first deal Camada had to signed for another two years And for this and for the the very important clothes that the agent asked to to leave the team. And then but because also because Lazio is a club that doesn't like the song.
00:17:34
Speaker
some new football situations like the closest with the agents and then this is the Kamada film, the Kamada story and then in the last days he talked about Lazio and not very well about Lazio.
00:17:59
Speaker
No, he didn't. He absolutely did not. Um, but yeah, so, so, so let's, I mean, that was the biggest, I mean, and then of course, Luis Alberto left and we saw the very moving social media stuff and they kind of ended up with some kind of respect. And of course, Chiro immobile leaving, you know, crying, the fans crying was very beautiful, um, as well. I was here. Yeah. Yeah. I saw, um, can can i Can I just ask you about the Chiro Immobular thing? Because one last year there weres there was interest in him from Saudi Arabia. Do you think it was a mistake not to sell him last summer? and Not a mistake because that's because ah sorry because ah from Arabian clouds there wasn't a a clear ah offer.
00:18:51
Speaker
And then without an offer, the the player can't go. And then Lazio couldn't sell him. I think that last year also for the age and the um also for the ah the characteristics that weren't perfect for Sarri's football. Lazio, I think that with ah with an important offer ah and would the we sell him, but there like I said the before, there wasn't.
00:19:37
Speaker
By now, um after another yeah difficulty year for injuries and some voices about problems with Sari, then immobulate had the some problems also with with the supporters in the last months.
00:20:05
Speaker
I think the player, ah um despite to say the many times that loved Lazio and wanted to stay in Lazio, I think the player andes en toage and the They were ah finding an important offer. And then after a few weeks, they arrived to Formelo with the the basic task offer. That is good because it's about ah six million by here for two years.
00:20:48
Speaker
more than one whole of the five but with bonus that e he gained in Lazio for two years and to 2026. The years are the same but yeah is a debate is more and then Chiro decided to go for a new experience of life with his family and ah because like I said to you before the the relationship with the with the with the supporters there
00:21:38
Speaker
It wasn't like like the like last years. The supporters love ah ah love and will love him forever.

Squad Strategy Without Immobile

00:21:49
Speaker
of course he makes He made story for that show. I don't know if, I don't know how many years the supporters have to wait to have a player like him, a player that has his numbers, but I think the the moment was that was
00:22:14
Speaker
was right to leave. And and then now Lazio, I don't think that will we'll buy a new a new striker because Baroni has Norslin and also Castellanos in this position. Okay, so that was also one of my questions, so they're not going to replace him then in that instance. So um let's talk about ah quickly about some other players that are linked to leaving. Mario Gila has been linked to Real Madrid, Hisai has been rumored to leave, Pedro could believe has been linked to Saudi Arabia. Let's go through Mario Gila, Real Madrid rumors. Real Madrid likes him.
00:23:00
Speaker
is real. Lazio declined also an important offer um that it was about I think 10 or also 15 million. But the most important thing is that Lazio by now don't don't want to doesn't want to to sell Mario Gilia because he wants to have him for at least ah at least another year. But you have to you have to know that Real Madrid has also the 50% eventual
00:23:53
Speaker
eventual um resale. Resale yes and then this is the situation but for this year ah Mario Gila for Lazio has to remain in Formelo. Pedro for the age is one of the profiles that Lazio would like to to sell but the player by now by now doesn't want to go to to Arabia because there's um there are some interests about Arabian clubs, but like I said, he wants to
00:24:39
Speaker
to play another year, but the the transfer market is is strange and the situations in the transfer market could change every time and every second. Absolutely. what like sorry the the The important thing is that Lazio would like to to sell Pedro for ah for the age because step by step Lazio wants to buy in young players for for for um for starts for starts ah to start a new cycle for the next years. Makes sense. And Hisai,
00:25:23
Speaker
Isai is ah on the transfer market and who wants Isai can buy him but with with i I think a small price because a don't you don't play he doesn't play every and we match with Lazio and Yes, I think 30 and then about he's ah on transfer market. Let's ah let's so talk, are there some other players in the current Lazio squad that could be leaving? I'm thinking someone like Mario, like and Manuel Lazari, is he going to stay or leave? Manuel Lazari,
00:26:19
Speaker
I think that could could stay because Lazio about Nuno Tavares to complete the the defense because ah ah Fabiani wanted to have another player for a for the defense ah of, that has um a right, sorry, left foot. And then now he has Pellegrini and then Nunotavares.
00:27:02
Speaker
Thanks to this, Marusic who can um can return on the on the right, on the right back. And then and then um in this part, for the left-back, Lazio now has Nuno Tavares and Pellegrini. And for the right-back, Lazari and Marusic. for because Baroni wants to wants to play with the and for four... at the back Yes, four backs and then if I don't know by now the lineup because ah he is thinking about 4-2, 3-1 and 4-3-3. He will have the
00:27:52
Speaker
about ah some some weeks, or one month, one month to the start of the of the season and then of the Serie A. And he will decide it in the next weeks. But I think that the the left the the back ah the the right back that is on the transfer market is also is only, sorry, Yousai, and not Manuel Lazari. But also for like for the contract situation. Yeah, makes sense. Are there any other players that you know that are on the transfer market at Lazio in the current squad like Vesino? No. no got that Sorry? Cataldi. He's on the market. Yes, he's on the market.
00:28:39
Speaker
but in in last ah in the last weeks Lazio offered him to Torino for example and the I don't know by now if there was another another club but Lazio would like to to sell him and then we will we will see but the and and another name is Cataldi and then also the other play but the other players are like Fares, Akpak, Bro, Basic, Agandrey Anderson, they don't don't play ah like Cataldi. But Gustav is Saxon, do you think he will stay?
00:29:30
Speaker
Isaksen is a strange situation because... Feyenoord wanted him ah also for ah for ah an exchange like with Stanks in the said not, absolutely not. But by now, Gustav Isaksson, like I say, I know about the preseason, Gustav Isaksson,
00:30:06
Speaker
yeah that doesn't play very well. I think that Lazio will wait him because Lazio feels that he is a very, very good player. But the like ah like we said the before, the transfer market is ah very strange and then who says, who knows if ah in the next weeks, Isaac Serna could leave. By now, not. By now, not. But yes ah he's under action. Yeah, he's under, he he could leave. um So I assume Rovella isn't going anywhere. um I assume all the other, like Zakani, Rovella, all these guys are going to stay.
00:30:58
Speaker
Yes, yes yes za cannya fin I think that could be the the new captain. I was just about to ask you about that. I always thought it would be Alessio Romagnoli because he's such a Lazio. Yes, but for the behaviour, Romagnoli is not too important to to be the the captain because he gives always the best. And the same um is for Adam Marusic. And the same is for Patrick. These four could be Lazio's future captain, Zacani. Marusic, Patrick and Romagnoli, we will see. i could I could say also Cataldi, but for this situation of his future, I don't know if if it's good to to say his name by now.
00:31:56
Speaker
Yeah, that's that's a good point. Well, let's talk about players

New Signings and Missed Opportunities

00:32:00
Speaker
coming in. ah Gaetano Castorvili is basically going to come to Lazio. I think it's done. Could you tell us a little bit about the details of the contract and how that move came to be? And also, what are your thoughts on it, given that he is he's been very injured and there are some you know there are question marks? no Yes, and lot yes and the the past ah the last two years um we and weren't very good for Castro, really, but I think he's a very good talent and a very good profile ah because ah for the like a midfielder because he can he can play
00:32:42
Speaker
in a 4-3-3 and also behind the behind the striker, behind the yeah the attack for a 4-2-3-1. And is ah for me, it's an interesting affair that Lazio closed. the ah I know that he's closed the affair and then in the next days, this week, Castro really will sign his contract. And um because of his injuries, Lazio
00:33:25
Speaker
yeah Lazio decided to offer to him one year of contract. And if during the um during the next year, there will be a good ah percentage of appearances, then Castro Vili will sign you for another two years. This is the situation. Okay. and then um And then but for me is ah is a good a good profile ah but I don't know is form. I don't know if these two years had I don't know a bad impact to this career. here We will see. The two years injury of Fiorentina you know.
00:34:19
Speaker
I agree with you. I think he's a very talented player. It's a midfielder I really liked when he first came onto the scene. um There's been another player who's been linked to quite a few clubs, and but he comes with a lot of off-the-pitch baggage and that's Mason Greenwood. Is there, and so what's the situation? Are Lazio interested? Have they been interested? Obviously, it's one year. One year, Lotito loves him, wants to buy him. Last year there was there were some problems with the with the hour the hour, because Lazio arrived in delay to
00:34:59
Speaker
to Bayim and then after ah ah Greenwood went to Getafe. For this summer, Lazio offered at least 20 million and 50% of his eventual resale. and Not more, not more. ah but Marseille for the offer to Manchester United about 25,
00:35:36
Speaker
at least 25 million and then the 50% of the future resale and an important salary, huge than the salary at Lazio, and then Greenwood ah chose to to go to Marseille, but I don't know if in this ah in this moment he's not still official, but I think that he will go to Roberto de Zervi's code, and then it's a pity because Lazio
00:36:18
Speaker
wanted him very much, but ah at at the end Greenwood went to Ligon. Yeah, no it's yeah maybe given everything with his background as well. I think that is start i think that his ah he's arrived to Lazio. and who the
00:36:50
Speaker
could change the definitly definitively the the humor of the of supporters because he's a very huge European talent. yeah but let's show step by step find ah another another ah profile and then we will see what will be the the last the last affair the last player that will go to Baroni squad. Yeah so so who is the last um who is who are they going after now because it looks like he's set for a medical at Marseille
00:37:35
Speaker
Greenwood. So who are they going after? We've heard of Armand Laurente, Boulaye Dia, any of those? Dia, not Dia because he's a striker, he's a first striker and then And then I think that Lazio is finding searching a player that could could play ah behind the striker, the first striker. We will see and the real name,
00:38:17
Speaker
By now, I know and this is certain that Lazio likes Job Bellingham, that is an art brother. I was actually, that was literally my next question. Okay. Job Bellingham. Yes. um And this is the, the by now, the the most important name, the agenda of Fabiani. But I think that we will we will see at least another name because Lazio in this moment is a thinking about the
00:39:01
Speaker
the right ah the right player here for the well what needs Barone. That's interesting because I wanted to ask you about that. Any truth to Armand Loriente from Sassuolo? Yes, a simple interest by now, simply interest but only this. with so You mentioned Calvin Stengs from Firenord, what's the situation there? The situation with stanks by now is that reason there ist nothing there is nothing.
00:39:40
Speaker
But in the past, Latio liked him, and there was, like I said to you before, this situation with... this this probably exchange with his accent. But from now, I think that by now is ah is a name that... newspapers used to have a list, to have a list of ah probably a player that Lazio wants to buy, but I think that the stank moment is passed. And finally, we have to talk about Lazar Samajic, whose father is a character
00:40:33
Speaker
on par with Aurelio de la Rentis, Claudio Notito. Now there's interest. yeah he't yeah he was yeah easy he was He's crazy. um But we've I've read rumors about Lazar Samadzic. Is there any truth to this? Yes, yes, yes. Lazio and a few weeks ago in Formelo. who Fabiani with the new sports director, you general director of
00:41:06
Speaker
new technical director of Udinese that is Nani. Not the ex-player. I was going to say, not Luis Nani. Not the Portuguese ex-player. But Udinese wants to too match for for the player, because Lazio wanted to, not wanted, Lazio offered and ah maximum 15 millions, but Udinese wants at least 20 million with bonds, and Lazio went to to another profile, and then the profile was ah Greenwood,
00:41:53
Speaker
Okay, interesting. um Are there any more ah links right now to any other players that Lazio are currently in talks with or are interested in and and and so on?

Future Strategies and Prospects

00:42:06
Speaker
By now, there are lots of young players, because of the policy to have a young team, like El Canos, for example, or also Tiago Romano,
00:42:29
Speaker
and my But there are ah a very there is a very important and huge list about talents that Lazio likes. ah But and I think that for the for next week Lazio will search an important player to i think to to close the transfer market very well because I think that is a it will be it will be the last and the the last plan for ah for this summer. But it's not simple to to to find the the perfect player and when you when you have to to invest ah much money, you have to to choose very well.
00:43:29
Speaker
Yeah, wisely, wisely, very wisely. um other So what do you think? ah Do you think Samardzic, do you think Greenwood, is this one of those fina mercato, end of mercato kind of deals? Not Greenwood, of course, is going to Marseille, but Samardzic, I mean, do you think he could he could be one of those end of mercato deals? I think that Samardzic is a profile ah and that could be ah ah could could have news ah in the last part of Mercato. yes of football straford market and The classic deadline day Italian. yeah In this case if Lazio didn't have nothing before the deadline it could be
00:44:17
Speaker
us I think it could be a a possibly arrive. He would be, I mean, he's a fantastic player. There's no doubt the talent is there, but again, the controversy the father and and everything that happened last season, last summer with him sitting in a hotel for three days um was was was interesting to say the least. um Well, it's good to know, I mean, I got to say my feeling is that through oh I know there's there's always chaos in Rome and Naples and and in Italian football, right? But I think one thing that Lottito has been very good at throughout his tenure at Lazio is he's very good at new cycles, new projects, step one, step two. The problem is when he's supposed to take that maybe final step, um that's when he he doesn't seem to be able to to to do it. But to build something from scratch is something I think he's been very successful at with Lazio.
00:45:15
Speaker
um And so I think Lazio fans should probably be... I know Baroni is not the sexiest name in football, but I actually think he's a very competent coach and I think Lazio could surprise a few people and be be a difficult team to play against. Would you agree? Yes, I think that in this in these situations... we have to We have to wait. We have to wait ah ah to to say something about the the the coach, about the players. But like you said before, Roma like Naples.
00:45:52
Speaker
is a chaotic city and then a people and the supporters a once once every time wants more, but one everyone wants more here and then this is also for the supporters but only like I said you for Fabiani, only the pitch
00:46:21
Speaker
we We'll say that Lazio in this summer ah did the right things or not. That's true. That is how it goes. For our for hours. then we we work on football, we write or ah we we have podcasts, we talk every every day about football is a thing. But for a supporter that work that works, I don't know, in every place, yeah i I think ah
00:47:00
Speaker
I think it's good, I think it's right ah for for for a supporter that wants more. And then is I think it's also is the is a good and at the same time ah a bad thing of of football. But football is ah is the people's sport. And then we have the we have to accept this.

Speaker
No, it's true. But what are your expectations as a journalist, as a Laziale? I mean, if you look at it kind of objectively, do you are you kind do you think this is a good restart or reboot? I don't know. if I think that the the policy to to buy new new young players is good because Lazio was, I think, the at the sixth place in in the most important leagues in Europe ah for the old age. But I think that with these players, by now Lazio could arrive at six or seven seven plays of the Serie A, not in champions. No, no.
00:48:25
Speaker
by now. I don't know if the if there will be an important last player that will arrive to for men. In this case, ah in this case ah ah something could change. But by now it's not like this. No, you're absolutely right. And also we're also only in the middle of July. The Mercato is long. It ends in August, September, so there's quite a lot of time left. um So lots lots of things can change, but there's lots of things going on in Lazio, that's for sure. It's been quite the, quite the few couple of months. um Valerio, thank you so much for coming on.
