S.S. Lazio has a plan to sign Giacomo Raspadori, Maurizio Sarri's preferred striker. Maurizio Sarri had already indicated Raspadori as a replacement for Castellanos last June.

What happened?

The 25-year-old had left Napoli to join Atletico Madrid for 22 million euros plus 4 million in bonuses, but he thought he would play more than 309 minutes in 12 appearances between La Liga and the Champions League.

Why is it important for S.S. Lazio?

Raspadori has never been a prolific scorer, but Sarri is convinced that his talent is still untapped and considers him the ideal striker for his team.

What comes next?

S.S. Lazio currently has three strikers, and space needs to be made for Raspadori, perhaps by selling Taty or Castellanos.
