Claudio Lotito May Have to Sell Lazio If Reggina Reaches Serie C

Claudio Lotito, president of both Lazio and the Calabrian club Reggina, can legally own the two professional football teams simultaneously until 1 July 2028. Should Reggina secure promotion to Serie C before that date, Lotito will be required to relinquish one of the clubs, with a sale of Lazio being the most likely outcome. The current season will see no major changes to Lazio’s executive staff, and no definitive plan has been announced for transferring ownership to his son Enrico.

In the meantime, Lazio’s sporting director discussed the club’s transfer strategy, expressing greater optimism about a potential signing of Argentine midfielder Facundo Domínguez, whose estimated fee could fall to around €10 million, versus a higher‑cost move for Brazilian forward Julián Martínez. Other targets, such as centre‑back Gila, are drawing interest from several Serie A clubs, with the most concrete offer coming from Juventus.

The situation underscores the intertwining of club‑ownership regulations and Lazio’s ongoing market activity.
