We have the latest Lazio transfer news as Maurizio Sarri plans to lead a summer rebuild following his return to the club.
The club is eyeing several young Serie A prospects, including Fiorentina left-back Fabiano Parisi, Inter striker Francesco Pio Esposito, and Empoli midfielder Jacopo Fazzini. Meanwhile, Mattia Zaccagni’s future remains uncertain amid growing interest from Napoli.
Lazio Transfer Targets: Parisi and Esposito on the List
The latest Lazio transfer news indicates that the club is considering cost-effective reinforcements, with Parisi and Esposito high on their list, according to Alfredo Pedulla.
Parisi profiles as a modern, attacking left-back and has impressed at Fiorentina despite limited minutes in a rotational role.
Esposito, meanwhile, at just 19, lit up Serie B with 19 goals and 3 assists during his loan at Spezia and is now being pursued for a permanent move from Inter.
While no formal negotiations have begun, both players are viewed as strong fits for Sarri’s style of play. Esposito’s age and ceiling make him a particularly attractive option, especially if Lazio looks to refresh their forward line.
Lazio Want Jacopo Fazzini from Empoli Again
Another name back on Lazio’s radar is Empoli midfielder Jacopo Fazzini. After failing to land the 22-year-old in January, the Biancocelesti are set to try again.
With Empoli relegated to Serie B, Fazzini’s departure now looks likely, especially considering the form he ended the season in — scoring four goals and assisting once in the final six matches.
Lazio’s midfield is in flux — Matias Vecino is out of contract, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru has underwhelmed, and Danilo Cataldi is returning from loan.
Fazzini is admired by Sarri and could fill the role of a dynamic third midfielder alongside Nicolo Rovella and Matteo Guendouzi as Sarri shifts Lazio back to a 4-3-3 formation.
Mattia Zaccagni to Napoli? Uncertainty Grows After Lazio Miss Europe
One of Lazio’s key players, Mattia Zaccagni, may be on his way out. After missing out on European qualification, the 29-year-old Italian winger is reportedly considering a switch to Scudetto winners Napoli.
Zaccagni is under contract until 2029 and was even handed the captain’s armband this past season. But Napoli manager Antonio Conte is a big admirer and is pushing for his signature. The Partenopei had already made a move for Zaccagni in January when Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was linked with PSG.
With 10 goals and 9 assists in 46 appearances, Zaccagni was one of Lazio’s most productive players. Losing him would be a major blow — especially as Sarri looks to rebuild around players he trusts.
Unless Lazio are able to bring in an equally productive winger or adapt their system, Sarri may be forced to lean more heavily on younger players or develop new leaders internally.
Lazio’s Tactics Under Maurizio Sarri
Maurizio Sarri’s return will likely prompt Lazio to shift back to the 4-3-3 system that he is renowned for. Players like Rovella and Guendouzi should thrive again, but finding the right balance — and a third midfielder — is imperative.
Fazzini’s profile suits Sarri’s high-possession game, while Parisi and Esposito would add pace and energy to both flanks.
If Lazio can pull off these moves without overspending, they could quietly put together one of the more intriguing squads in Serie A.
Either way, it’s clear the transfer window in Italy is already heating up with plenty of intrigue surrounding Lazio and other Serie A sides.
