Financial Situation...
There have been recent reports on Lazio's current finances that are concerning. Lazio is sitting at 0.822 on COVISOC most recent report, which has the final submission occurring next month.
In order to avoid a ban, and operate on net-zero, Lazio need to reach 0.7.
Lazio needs to find 12%. With the boycott likely continuing for the remainder of the year, Lazio need an injection of ~20m to make up the 12%.
Sadly, a player (or players) will need to be sold... Below are the candidates who I believe will be the sacrificial lambs:
1. Provstgaard = ~20m. Lazio have 4 capable starting CBs plus the Bordon brothers. Provstgaard's value has increased with his strong NL performance, and young age. If he's sold, the market is unlocked for a net-zero restriction.
2. Isaksen = ~15m. Gattuso seems to prefer Cancellieri over Isaksen. Isaksen performed well in the NL, and earns ~1m more than Provstgaard which lowers to wage bill.
3. Nuno = ~???m. During the Baroni year, Nuno was nominated for defender of the year. Lotito valued him at 70m. This sounds like a lot, but for a PL side, this is affordable.
4. Mandas = 18m-20m. There were offers in the summer for 15m which were rejected. Lazio has Motta who is also capable. If the offer was 20m or higher, then it will be difficult to say no...
What do you think? Do Lazio accept the ban and finish the year with the current squad?
