Lazio Reopens Talks With AZ Alkmaar's Karlsson

In preparation for the upcoming season, the transfer market for Lazio must be activated without delay. This is a make-or-break situation, as time is rapidly dwindling and the coach is eagerly anticipating the acquisition of at least four new players. Among these signings, one is particularly crucial for bolstering the team's offensive capabilities, specifically in strengthening the side lanes.

With each passing day leading up to the commencement of the 2023-24 championship, Lazio's opportunities to bolster their transfer market diminish. To maintain a competitive edge on multiple competitions, they must expedite the process of unlocking their resources. The pivotal moment that could potentially facilitate the acquisition of requested players by the coach lies in the forthcoming meeting between Sarri and Lotito.

According to the Corriere dello Sport, Lazio is actively seeking an offensive winger. After considering and rejecting Politano and Berardi, the team is now reconsidering the possibility of Jesper Karlsson from AZ Alkmaar. The 24-year-old Swedish player caught Lazio's attention during the Conference match and has been deemed the perfect fit for the team's offensive unit. Discussions have been reopened with the agents who were initially approached a few weeks ago. The negotiations are expected to progress significantly in the coming days.
