By OnzeActu · · 5 min read
Lazio is taking steps to strengthen its attack, with Santiago Gimenez as Gennaro Gattuso's top priority. However, Milan has not yet decided on the future of the Mexican striker, while various alternative profiles are also being studied on the Roman side.
Why it matters
Lazio's search for a new striker, with Santiago Gimenez at the top of the list, highlights the importance of strengthening their attack for the upcoming Serie A season. New coach Gennaro Gattuso sees Gimenez as a potential revival after a difficult spell at Milan, which could influence the team's dynamics. The success of this operation could also have an impact on the competition between Serie A clubs, particularly with Milan who are hesitant about the future of the Mexican striker.
Key points

In search of guarantees, the Biancoceleste technician has already spoken with Gimenez to explain the project to him and try to convince him to join the capital.

In this context, the Milanese management is slowing down any progress, preferring to wait to assess the physical state and motivation of the Mexican international. Gimenez himself, cautious, is considering all options: if he had to leave Milan, he would undoubtedly favor a European project or a discovery of a new championship, rather than a transfer to another Serie A club.
Lazio, aware of the complexity of the operation, is offering a loan with an expensive purchase option, a formula which for the moment does not fully convince the Lombard management. An unblocking therefore does not seem imminent, and a possible boost in this matter should only occur in the second half of August. Faced with these uncertainties, the Roman leaders are studying other avenues: Armando Broja (seen at Burnley), Roberto Piccoli, John Kennedy (whose valuation by Fluminense is considered too high), but also the name of the German striker Niclas Fullkrug returns to the forefront after his return to West Ham.
The market for attackers therefore remains lively in Serie A, with Lazio determined not to remain without a solution. The next few weeks will be decisive in knowing whether Gattuso will succeed in attracting Gimenez to the Biancoceleste jersey or whether a plan B will have to be activated to meet the offensive expectations of the Roman club.

If Gimenez were to leave Milan, he could favor a European project, which could complicate Lazio's efforts to recruit him.
