I Love Lazio

As the summer transfer window was still active, English Premier League giants Manchester United were getting very active in the market and after working hard to acquire the signings of world-class players in the past few weeks, they realized that they also had to let some of their players to leave the club.

There were a couple of names linked with summer exits away from Old Trafford and the list included Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata, Nemanja Matic, Donny van de Beek Eric Bailly, Phil Jones, and Andreas Pereira. Pereira particularly made headlines as he was ways set for a transfer away from the Red Devils before the end of the transfer window and he did get his move in the end.

Italian publication La Gazzettadello Sport has revealed that Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoiis on the transfer list at Lazio. It was stated that Lazio are in the transfer market for a winger and England international Callum Hudson-Odoi is a target.

New Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri is not a stranger to Hudson-Odoi having managed him at Chelsea. Hudson-Odoi played for Sarri while the Italian tactician was the Chelsea boss for one season. During that season, they won the 2018/19 Europa League title together by beating London rivals Arsenal 4-1 in the final in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira has continued to attract interest from Italian Serie A outfit Lazio and the club have also continued to make it clear that they are interested in taking the Brazilian midfielder back to Italy. The Brazil international star was at Lazio last season where he spent the entirety of the campaign on loan at the club and he did well to impress the Rome-based giants.

English Premier League giants Manchester United are very much expected to splash the cash this summer on a couple of signings as they continue to strengthen their squad to challenge for major titles next season. The Red Devils have been a much-improved side from last season and are currently on course to collect their most points in the league since Sir Alex Ferguson retired as the club's manager.

Olé Gunnar Solksjær, the club's current manager, has been lauded for the major improvements he has brought to the club even though they did not start this current season as brightly as they would have hoped. After losing the title to local rivals Manchester City, they would aim to come back next season more prepared than they were This campaign as they continue to hunt for their first English Premier League title win since 2013.

Premier League giants Manchester United have reportedly started contract talks with Italian Serie outfit Lazio over the potential transfer of midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. United have been courting the renowned midfield superstar over the last couple of transfer windows, but have not been able to reach an agreement with the player's club to finalize the transfer.

Milinkovic-Savic, 26, has continued to be a star performer for his club this season and is also currently in fine form. He has also continued from where he stopped last season and has already had a hand in 19 direct goal contributions so far this campaign (11 assists and 8 goals) in only 37 appearances so far. That's a great return from a midfielder, and it explains just why United have been tracking him for more than two years now.

Fresh reports emerging from Italian news media outlets are all suggesting that Italian Serie A outfit Lazio are highly interested in snapping up unsettled Real Madrid Winger Vinicius Junior and want to make him a new Lazio player when the summer window opens. Vinicius is currently enduring a mixed season at the Spanish giants this campaign and has rarely been the player that he is known to be.

He has not really impressed Real Madrid bosses this term and it is believed that the reason he continues to make it to the starting XI is because of the several first-team stars who have been sidelined with injuries this term. The Brazilian winger was in a better situation by this time last campaign but he has not been able to replicate the form that saw him terrorize La Liga defenders last season.

Lazio will test their recent good form when they travel to Milan to take on fellow title contenders Inter Milan in the standout game in the Italian Serie A this weekend. Lazio are one of the form teams in European football right now after their impressive run of six straight wins in the league and they would be seeking victory number seven on the bounce at the expense of a wounded Inter Milan team.

Italian Serie A capital club Lazio would be hoping for a better year in 2021 after they ended 2020 with a defeat. In their last game this year, Lazio were beaten 3-2 by league leaders AC Milan in what was the standout game of week 14 in the Italian Serie A.

Lazio have had a good year in 2020 especially in the first half of the year when they emerged as genuine title threat to league champions Juventus before the enforced suspension of the Italian Serie A league in March due to Covid-19. Lazio were not able to maintain their title momentum when the league resumed in the summer but were still able to finish in the top four which guaranteed their return to Champions League football after several years. Lazio finished in fourth position with 78 points at the end of the season. The capital outfit ended the season five points adrift of Juventus who won the Italian Serie A for the eighth season in a row.

Lazio have set their sights on a return to winning ways ahead of their trip to face Benevento in one of the early games of matchday 12 in the Italian topflight this term. Lazio are playing catch up on the other title contenders this season and they have their work cut out if they want to close the gap on the other big teams on the Italian Serie A standings after the shock loss to Hellas Verona at home.
