Il Messaggero reports on its front page today, focusing on the current and future strategies of Roma and Lazio. The newspaper highlights: `Roma, Ferguson close. Lazio, Sarri focuses on Dia`. Lazio`s transfer market is currently stalled, but manager Maurizio Sarri is concentrating on developing his squad using the players he already has.
Regarding the attack, Lazio`s coach appears ready to rely on Boulaye Dia. The former Salernitana and Senegal international, who won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2022, scored 9 goals in the most recent league campaign.
Meanwhile, Roma is reportedly close to securing their first new signing. Following intense negotiations, striker Evan Ferguson has reportedly agreed to join Roma, beating out competition from Atalanta. An agreement with his current club, Brighton, for a free loan had already been reached, with Roma`s owners, the Friedkins, set to cover the player`s full salary, estimated at around €1.8 million annually. The final approval from the Irish forward arrived yesterday.
