Corradi Set For Lazio Return?

They are one of the most active clubs on the transfer market, but Lazio still haven't actually signed any new players yet. The next few days could be decisive on that front. Claudio Lotito's club are evaluating new possibilities in all roles.

The priority is still getting a new goalkeeper. It seems that within 48 hours the club will receive the matrimonial papers from Argentina which would allow Oscar Carrizo to obtain his EEC passport and play for the club.

A new name is being followed for the midfield. Well, not quite entirely new, because Leandro Somoza has been tracked by the Lazio transfer experts since last summer. A physically strong Argentinean, he is currently on loan to Betis, although Villarreal still own him.

Finally, for the attack a surprising return may be on the cards: that of Bernardo Corradi, who will most likely get less playing time at Parma after Cristiano Lucarelli's arrival.

The club may well decide to allow him to leave, considering also striker Igor Budan's imminent return from injury, and Corradi's considerable salary. The Manchester City-owned striker himself is already known to favor a return to the Biancocelesti.
