Maurizio Sarri wants to reinforce his squad with the AC Milan midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek in January, but first, Lazio need to know their transfer verdict.
Lazio and Sarri were unable to strengthen the squad in the summer due to a transfer ban, which was imposed as a result of poor finances. In the coming days, as highlighted by Corriere dello Sport, the Financial Supervisory Commission will deliver its verdict ahead of the January window.
There are three potential outcomes, as the newspaper continues: Ban upheld, a semi-open transfer window and an open transfer window. It seems we are heading towards a semi-open window, which means Lazio would have to sell for the same amount they buy for (one player for another).
Sarri pushing for RLC
According to the newspaper, Lazio and Sarri are eagerly awaiting the verdict and in the meantime, they have identified some targets. Milan midfielder Loftus-Cheek is one of them, as the manager enjoyed a fantastic relationship with the Englishman at Chelsea.
In fact, Sarri ‘dreams’ of signing the midfielder but it could be a difficult operation, depending on what the player wants and how much Milan will ask for. A report yesterday suggested that Loftus-Cheek could consider a move, especially in view of the World Cup.
