Lazio, Lotito explains Immobile’s farewell and relaunches

No backward steps but confidence in the new group

Lazio è reached the end of a cycle. Immobile, too, after Milinkovic-Savic and Luis Alberto, has packed his bags. He will try to make a difference with Besiktas, in Turkey, never forgetting his long experience in biancoceleste. Lotito let him go, convinced that the blue striker had now had his time at Lazio.

"He asked to be sold, like Milinkovic-Savic and Luis Alberto. They understood that their cycle was over and one must accept it. Even the club, despite the affection shown many times, understood that the time had come to start again with a new young and more wide-ranging project,³” Lotito’s words to Il Messaggero.

Disposals that, however, do not worry the biancoceleste patron, who is convinced that a new cycle is about to begin with the new coach Baroni at the helm of the team: "This is not a matter of downsizing", makes clear the Lazio number one. Maximum confidence in Castellanos, now the team’s princely center forward.

"They offered us so much for Taty (Castellanos, ed.), but we are not giving him up becauseé we believe in him. And we think he can finally get unblocked and prove his full value, without the natural burden of having in front of him who had made the history of Lazio", the commentary of Lotito himself.
