Sarri Requests at Least Four Lazio Summer Reinforcements

While his future remains uncertain, Maurizio Sarri will expect the Lazio management to satisfy his transfer demands if he is to stay at the club.

The Background

The 67-year-old has described this campaign as the most challenging of his career, as he had to lead the squad in the eye of the storm. The Biancocelesti weren’t allowed to make any signings last summer, and the hierarchy then sold a few key players in January, much to the manager’s dismay.

The Tuscan was involved in a back-and-forth public spat with Lazio president Claudio Lotito. Fortunately for Lazio, the two men have recently declared a truce, perhaps helped by the team’s improved results and the delightful Coppa Italia run.

The Aquile will take on Inter Milan in the final on May 13, and Il Corriere dello Sport expects crunch talks to take place between Lotito and Sarri shortly following the big showdown. If the two parties decide to extend their collaboration beyond the current campaign, the head will be expecting at least four new signings.
