Lazio Transfer Market: After Pinamonti, Attention Turns to Midfield—A Surprising Option from the Premier League

Lazio continues to be active in the transfer market, and after wrapping up the striker front with the signing of Andrea Pinamonti from Sassuolo—made official on Thursday—the Biancocelesti have begun turning their attention to the midfield as well. According to reports from ‘Football Insider,’ the name that has landed on sporting director Angelo Fabiani’s radar is Harvey Elliott, a 2003-born player owned by Liverpool. An unexpected lead, but one that is described in England as a real possibility.

Elliott, 23, is considered a bargain: the player is not part of the Reds’ plans, and his future lies far from Merseyside. Last season, on loan at Aston Villa, he made 11 appearances and scored one goal, without managing to secure a regular spot in the lineup. For this season, the 23-year-old is reportedly open to a move abroad to regain regular playing time, and Lazio seems ready to take advantage of this.

However, the Biancocelesti would not be the only interested club in Italy. Napoli has also reportedly inquired about him, though they remain less proactive than Lazio. The player’s contract situation—his deal with the Reds expires in June 2027—and Liverpool’s desire to find a solution to avoid losing him on a free transfer could make Elliott a real opportunity in the transfer market.

Meanwhile, at the Biancocelesti club on the Tiber, today belongs to Andrea Pinamonti. “S.S. Lazio announces that it has acquired, on a permanent basis, the sporting rights of soccer player Andrea Pinamonti from U.S. Sassuolo Calcio,” reads the club’s official statement, released on Thursday. The club did not disclose financial details: for Pinamonti, this will be the sixth different jersey he has worn as a professional, following those of Inter, Frosinone, Genoa, Empoli, and Sassuolo.
