Lazio finalizes Serie A squad following Romagnoli transfer

Lazio has finalized its squad list for the 2026/2027 Serie A season under manager Gennaro Gattuso. The roster includes several new arrivals such as Gudmundsson, Pinamonti, Frattesi, and Sutalo, though the club operated with limited financial resources, relying heavily on loans and free transfers to balance the budget.

A major development in the transfer market is the departure of defender Alessio Romagnoli. After months of speculation, an agreement has been reached for his permanent transfer to the Qatari club Al-Sadd. The deal is expected to be worth approximately 3 million euros, providing Lazio with much-needed relief regarding their wage bill.

During the closing stages of the transfer window, the club also addressed various tactical needs. While there were rumors regarding a potential move for Mauro Icardi, manager Gennaro Gattuso reportedly did not approve the transfer, citing a need for highly motivated players and specific tactical suitability.
