Lazio eyes Nasdaq listing and squad overhaul amid criticism of Lotito's business model

President Claudio Lotito is being criticised for injecting only €5.9 million into Lazio over 22 years and relying heavily on TV‑rights revenue, with most capital spent on the Formello training centre rather than player recruitment. Despite this, the club is reportedly exploring a Nasdaq listing to raise its international profile, a move described as complex due to existing Italian market listing and stringent U.S. regulations.

On the sporting side, manager Gennaro Gattuso highlighted the need for a true trequartista to boost the team’s attack, considering internal options such as 19‑year‑old Polish midfielder Adrien Przyborek and scouting other profiles. The club has also moved to sign Spanish forward Sergi Domínguez, with Gattuso personally leading negotiations. A team‑building dinner at Formello was held, attended by Lotito and new signing Pedraza, underscoring efforts to foster squad cohesion.
