Lazio must inject capital or sell players to lift zero‑balance market block

The Serie A club Lazio has been placed under a zero‑balance market restriction by the supervisory commission after failing to meet the required 70 % cost‑revenue ratio. The club has until 30 June to resolve a €20 million shortfall. President Claudio Lotito can either raise the amount through a capital increase, adding personal funds, or generate it by selling players. Potential departures include Alessio Romagnoli, Ivan Provedel, Matteo Canccellieri and possibly Mario Gila, with sale proceeds earmarked to close the gap. If the deficit is not covered, Lazio will remain blocked from normal transfer activity and could face further sanctions, with the market reopening only after September.

The situation mirrors similar financial constraints faced by other Serie A clubs this season, but Lazio remains the sole team still requiring decisive action to avoid a prolonged market freeze.
