Agent Mario Giuffredi continues to needle Lazio even though Mattia Zaccagni spoke clearly about his desire to stay at the club in a recent interview. The representative hinted at Juventus while conversing with TVPlay.
“I’d rather not comment on the transfer market rumors about him. I can surely say that he’s focused only on Lazio. Then, time will tell. It’s no secret that Cristiano Giuntoli did everything he could to bring him to Napoli a few years ago. The Azzurri and Verona had even reached a total agreement at some point. Saying that the director likes him is like reinventing the wheel.”
Zaccagni is contracted with the capital club only until 2025, and Giuffredi had previously postponed the extension talks to the end of the season.
“He’s fully concentrated on Lazio and wants to do well with this team. We’ll see what the future holds for him. But I’ve always said one thing: he’d undoubtedly be pleased to stay in Rome. As for his deal, it takes two tango.”
Our Take on Lazio, Zaccagni, and Juventus
While a little annoying, it’s fair for his agent to put pressure on the Biancocelesti. The renewal needs to arrive within the next three or four months, or he’ll be de facto on the market. As for the Old Lady, it’ll take a coaching change, or Federico Chiesa leaving, for them to track wingers that wouldn’t fit 3-5-2.
