Lazio president Claudio Lotito and coach Maurizio Sarri don’t see eye-to-eye concerning the possible acquisitions of Hugo Lloris and Leonardo Bonucci. The coach fully trusts Ivan Provedel and would gladly bring in a different goalie. Instead, the chairman believes signing at least one of the two would add much-needed experience that would prevent sudden collapses like the one in Lecce.
Per Il Messaggero, the patron thinks the moves would help the locker room grow in terms of ferocity and mentality. Instead, the gaffer is wary because they would be two cumbersome presences, especially if they didn’t feature regularly.
While Bonucci is reportedly waiting for their call, Lazio seemingly moved on from Lloris last week. However, the contacts restarted in the last couple of days, Alfredo Pedullà informs. The Frenchman doesn’t ask to be a starter but not a clear backup either.
There’s an agreement in principle with Salernitana to purchase Luigi Sepe. But Lotito wants to insist for the Tottenham goalkeeper as he considers him an added value. According to RMC Sport, the shot-stopper rejected their latest proposal.
Our Take on Lazio, Bonucci, and Lloris
Both the exec and the manager have a point. The solution should be to split the difference and onboard just one of the two. A center-back, albeit aging and often banged up, figures to be more useful than an overpaid deputy goalkeeper.
