If there is one thing we can say about Lazio 2024/2025, it is that this team has been able to turn the impossible into the possible. Kind of like when a game starts and you don’t think at all that a team that has lost important pieces like Ciro Immobile, Luis Alberto, and Felipe Anderson can bounce back with such strength.
Yet Marco Baroni and ds Angelo Fabiani’s team has done more. It has found an attunement that has not only taken it far in Europe, but also catapulted it into the fight for the Champions League. A feat that, if someone had said it at the beginning of the season, we would probably have smiled without believing it too much.
How did all this happen? Well, the secret is a mix of right market insights and low-profile but extremely effective management. There is no need to make big names or crazy spending, just act smart and take right bets. And when you look at who the real stars of this season are, you realize that often behind every great success there are footballers who, at first glance, would not have blown up the spotlight. But there they are, becoming the real heroes.
Let’s talk about Nuno Tavares, for example. The Portuguese outfielder, bought from Arsenal for 5 million plus bonuses and 20 percent on resale, has changed his skin. He is not just a footballer who provides assists, but a real thorn in the side of opposing defenses. At the beginning of the season he looked like a gamble, but today he is a fundamental piece of Lazio.
Tavares, who has already netted as many as 8 assists, could be worth over 30 million on the market. This is not only said by the numbers, but also by the eyes of clubs such as those in the Premier League, which are keeping an eye on him with some interest, as well as teams in our league such as Juventus, which has already been eyeing him for a few months.

Then there is the case of Fisayo Dele Bashiru, who looked like a buy for the future but is taking the spotlight. The Nigerian midfielder has never been a permanent starter, but every time he has taken the field he has shown that he has numbers and personality.

He scored three goals in the league, but it was in the Europa League games that he really showed what he is made of, with two goals and two assists coming to underscore his growth.
Dele is starting to become a regular presence in Baroni’s rotations, and his determination has won over fans enough to even inspire a chorus, inspired by Alberto Camerini’s Rock’n Roll Robot. The market? It hasn’t been long in coming: Arsenal has him in their sights. A player who was bought for a relatively low figure (6 million, including bonuses) could end up being worth 30 million, if not more.
Now, if we think about how Lazio has moved in recent months, it has to be said that Lotito has found his golden thread. Almost 50 million euros in capital gains from the sale of these two players alone, and the possibility of reinvesting to strengthen the team. But the great thing is that Fabiani is not stopping there. The team is already looking toward the future, and it is doing so with an eye on the summer market.
After achieving amazing results in the league and in Europe, the club bought Provstgaard, Ibrahimovic and Belahyane in January, two youngsters who, rest assured, will be the backbone of Baroni’s next Lazio.
In short, Lazio is experiencing one of its highest moments, and all thanks to its ability to sense hidden talents and bet on them. In just 12 months, from 16 million spent in purchases, it could rise to more than 50 million in capital gains. Lazio is making its hunches pay off, and while the present looks more than promising, the future is already at home.
