Angelo Fabiani Sparks Controversy, Reaffirms Lazio Transfer Strategy | OneFootball

Lazio sporting director Angelo Fabiani caused a stir in the media due to a volatile response, while also discussing the club’s transfer plans.

The Background

The 63-year-old is having an uncharacteristically quiet summer, especially with Lazio prohibited from signing any players due to a ban imposed by COVISOC. The director also skipped the club’s Turkish tour which included back-to-back friendlies against Fenerbahce and Galatasaray. Fabiani’s absence didn’t go unnoticed, as some fans and observers criticized him for staying behind.

However, the Lazio official didn’t take this chastizing lightly. Instead, he launched a scathing counter-attack, as he insisted that he has every right to take a vacation to celebrate his birthday with his family, as he stated in his interview with Il Tempo (via La Lazio Siamo Noi).

Lazio Determined to Retain the Group

Aside from Fabiani’s unceremonious statement regarding his vacation, he once again reiterated Lazio’s intention to keep their squad intact by refusing to sell anyone, but he also left the door open for the departure of those who will be left out of Maurizio Sarri’s Serie A squad list.

Which Lazio Players Could Be Left Out of the Squad

The manager will have to exclude two players from his list. The main candidates for the chopping block are Toma Basic, Tijjani Noslin, Samuel Gigot, Patric, Manuel Lazzari and Elseid Hysaj.
