Lazio President Claudio Lotito Tells off Man City, Aims Dig at Roma: ”Seemed Like They Won the Scudetto”

Lazio president Claudio Lotito insists Nicolo Rovella isn’t for sale after being recently linked with Manchester City.

Lazio President Claudio Lotito Warns Man City About Nicolo Rovella

Reports in Italy claimed the Premier League giants have identified the 23-year-old as a candidate to replace the injured Rodri, thus inquiring about his availability. The Cityzens are reportedly willing to splash €40 million for the Genoa youth product. But in his chat with Il Messaggero (via La Lazio Siamo Noi), Lotito made his stance clear, closing the door on Rovella’s departure.

Rovella is not for sale and we have never received an offer. It is normal that our players are appreciated and desired by the biggest clubs in the world.

Eccentric Derby Demeanor

The Lazio patron also discussed the recent Derby della Capitale clash which ended in his side’s defeat by two goals to nil. The Italian lawyer argues that the Biancocelesti deserved more based on their display, while mocking Roma for their over-the-top celebrations.

We made mistakes in the first 20 minutes and they had two shots on goal, but after that there was an assault on Fort Apache. In the second half we didn’t deserve to lose. They took their chances. We didn’t. And then there were incorrect behaviors such like the balls thrown into the middle of the pitch and other unsavory incidents. They won a match, but it seemed like a Scudetto celebration.
