Pedro made an annoucment of retiring.

Somewhat expected news, but I’m glad he was able to score on his last Lazio and official game!

How would you rate summer mercato? We can use scale from 0 to 10.

He joins Lazio as free agent. During last season he played at Union Berlin.

He brings more depth to CB position. Fabrizio Romano and few other transfer experts have confirmed the deal.

Seems like a good deal!

Fabrizio Romano confirms that Alessio Romagnoli is finally getting his move to Al Sadd. Long lasting transfer saga is finally over.

According to reports, Boulaye Dia is close to transfer Rennes with €9m transfer fee.

Albert Gudmundsson wants transfer to Lazio from Fiorentina. He would choose Lazio instead of couple other Serie A clubs. Loan deal with option to buy.

It feels that potential Dia deals is too good to be true. I cannot believe anyone is willing to pay anything based on how poorly he has played for so long for Lazio 😂

Here you can comment during the game, and also after the game.

Starting eleven

Bamba Dieng failed his medical, so who’s gonna be next in line? I mean it’s getting pretty desperate, unfortunately, at this rate.

I think it’s pretty clear for everyone that we need new number one striker.

Soprintendenza should deliver a verdict regarding Stadio Flaminio project soon, some media outlets have said that it would be 10th of August. It’s still technically possible that verdict would arrive 13th of August.

Conferenza dei Servizi preliminare has been going on during the summer, several months now.

I’ll summarize possible options:

+ Approval, stadium project will progess like Lazio & Lotito presented back in February. Many steps would be left, like crafting financial plan and 120 day public conference before construction starts, but the stadium project would be actually realistic to happen.

Compromise, stadium capacity will be downgraded from 50k to 40k or some other compromises like with the old canopy renovation - stadium project still goes on but not as originally intended by Lazio. Heritage constrains caused by Nervi will create a lot of challenges for the project.

- Rejection, Lazio’s Stadium Project is deemed not suitable and won’t go further on. This would effectively end the stadium renovation project with Stadio Flaminio. Lazio would need to start a new stadium project and it would be also with new owner, because this would not happen with Lotito.

Needless to say, a massive decision and week for the Stadio Flaminio renovation project.
