Lazio, Ciro Immobile in the balance: replacement identified
After the elimination from the Champions League with Bayern Munich, the priority for Lazio will be to try to finish the season in the best possible way both in the league and in the Coppa Italia. However, the club is reportedly already doing several reflections ahead of the summer soccer market session, one of them concerns the future of Ciro Immobile, who could leave the biancocelesti at the end of the season.
Compounding the Campania striker's below-expectations season, the Biancoceleste management is reportedly considering several alternatives to replace the 34-year-old. According to a report from "Il Messaggero", the hottest name would be Giovanni Simeone, who could leave Napoli to find more minutes.
Cholito would certainly be welcome in Lazio, also because of a very important surname for the biancoceleste fans. Negotiations would not be started yet, but in the coming months President Claudio Lotito could decide to start the assault for the former Hellas Verona.
As for Ciro Immobile, on the other hand, during the winter market, he said no to a rich contract in Saudi Arabia in order to stay and lend a hand to his Lazio, a club he has been playing with for as many as eight seasons. Unfortunately, he is experiencing a delicate moment. He struggles to materialize the goal balls that come his way. The mistake against Bayern Munich è cost him a lot, as the biancoceleste people pointed to him as the main culprit of the capitolini's elimination from the Champions League.
