Lazio soccer market, Marco Baroni has asked the club for reinforcements but the club is busy with disposals
Lazio, Baroni chiede rinforzi ma Lotito pensa alle cessioni: pronti due addii – Serieanews
Lazio is currently in fourth place in Serie A, with 39 points, two more than Juventus, which trails them in fifth. Despite the defeat against Fiorentina in the last round, which put a strain on the team’s morale, the Biancocelesti are still in the running for qualification to the next edition of the Champions League.
An important milestone, which could mean a quantum leap for Marco Baroni’s club, but also a reason to pay attention to the market. Lazio, in fact, is going through a period of transition, and the next moves could determine the team’s future.
The defeat against Fiorentina has set off alarm bells, but Lazio seems determined not to lose sight of its season goals. That’s why the January winter market will serve the team in need of reinforcements to avoid the risk of losing ground in the league.

Against this backdrop, coach Marco Baroni has explicitly asked for reinforcements for a squad that, while competitive, appears short in some departments. The club is looking to set up a squad that can face the coming months with greater depth, especially in view of the fight for Champions League qualification.

One of the most concrete negotiations concerns Chelsea youngster Cesare Casadei, a midfielder who has been in Lazio’s sights for some time. The Biancocelesti are trying to engage in negotiations with the English club to bring him to the capital, but economic difficulties and the liquidity index, which strongly conditions Lazio’s market operations, are making the situation complex given also the inclusion of Torino in the deal.
Despite the demands for his players, sporting director Angelo Fabiani has made it clear that Lazio does not intend to give up the team’s prized pieces.
“We have received a lot of requests, and we are not talking about small figures, but millions of euros. However, we have chosen not to give up anyone because we are rebuilding something important and it takes time,” Fabiani explained after the defeat against Fiorentina.
Despite these reassuring words, Lazio cannot shy away from looking at possible disposals, especially if these can help unlock the incoming market. Among the outgoing names is Luca Pellegrini, who came under criticism after his performance with Fiorentina and could leave the club.
Como has enquired about his transfer, and Lazio could agree to a transfer, especially if the Lombard club assumes the 4 million buy-back obligation Lazio will have to pay Juventus in June. If this deal materializes, Lazio could use both Marusic and Hysaj on the left, who would become wild cards to replace Tavares.

Another name that could pack his bags is Loum Tchaouna, on whom there is concrete interest from Bologna. The midfielder, bought from Lazio as part of the new project, is being followed by the Rossoblù, who are trying to understand under what conditions his transfer would be possible.

Lazio, however, has set a price for Tchaouna: 10 million euros and only on an outright basis. The Frenchman’s departure could unlock the cash index and allow Lazio to finalize the Casadei deal. If Chelsea were to accept a deferred payment for Casadei, Lazio would not sell Tchaouna. Conversely, if Chelsea were to demand an immediate outlay, the sacrifice of the young midfielder might become necessary.
Ultimately, Lazio is going through a delicate moment, where ambitions for the future are intertwined with financial difficulties and market needs. The fight for the Champions League is still open, but without adequate reinforcements, the risk of losing ground is real.
The disposals of Pellegrini and Tchaouna could be decisive for Lazio’s future, but it is clear that every move must be carefully weighed. There is still a long way to go, and each decision could make the difference between a European dream and an incomplete season
