S.S. Lazio has announced the full squad for the pre‑season camp, set to start on Monday July 13, with coach Rino Gattuso confirming 27 players available at the Training Center. The announcement follows medical checks and athletic tests, marking the first step of summer preparation.

Who has been called up?

The goalkeepers are Mattia Mandas, Alessandro Motta, Gabriele Renzetti and Gianluca D’Alessio. The defence includes Alessio Floriani, Milan Gigot, Luca Lazzari, Milan Marušić, Filip Patric, Javier Pedraza, Alessio Pellegrini, Mikkel Provstgaard, Nuno Tavares, Filip Bordon and Milan Kovac. Midfield adds Moussa Belahyane, Mohamed Dele‑Bashiru, Kacper Przyborek, Luca Rovella, Michele Taylor, Gabriele Galassi and Alessio Farcomeni. Up front the list features Alessio Artistico, Luca Cancellieri, Michele Dia, Milan Noslin, Milan Ratkov, Alessio Zaccagni and Luca Serra.

Why does it matter for the team?

The camp is the first collective work period after summer, allowing Gattuso to assess fitness and integration of new faces. Players still in post‑operative recovery, such as Lorenzo Furlanetto, Marco Cataldi and Mikkel Isaksen, continue their programs at the centre, ensuring a gradual transition to full competitiveness. The squad composition suggests a blend of experience and youth, essential for tackling Serie A and possible European contests.

What are the next steps?

From July 13 to July 20 the group will train intensively at the Training Center, with tactical sessions, endurance work and friendly matches against local sides. After the camp, Gattuso plans a training phase in Rome, where the team will fine‑tune its system and set the starting XI for the first league game. Fans can follow daily updates on the club’s official channels.

How will it shape the season?

A large roster lets Gattuso experiment with different line‑ups, especially in attack where competition among Artistico, Cancellieri and Zaccagni will be fierce. The presence of youngsters like Dele‑Bashiru and Przyborek offers fresh options for rotation during a packed calendar. If the group work translates into cohesion, S.S. Lazio can aim for a top‑4 finish in Serie A and a return to Europe.
