Lorenzo Insigne’s signing, long coveted by manager Maurizio Sarri following their successful shared history at Napoli, is emerging as the premier acquisition for Lazio during the upcoming January transfer window.
Reports indicate that the arrangement is effectively settled, featuring a specific contract proposal worth €1.3 million that extends through the current season's conclusion. Crucially, all negotiations are advancing rapidly, raising significant hopes that the winger’s registration could be finalized in December, thereby ensuring his immediate availability once the new calendar year begins.
This specific high-profile transaction, potentially accompanying a swap involving midfielder Ivan Ilic, aligns perfectly with the Biancocelesti’s strict "zero-balance" financial strategy, which dictates that every fresh arrival must be directly offset by a corresponding departure. Consequently, Insigne’s return to Serie A depends on the club’s ability to manage their squad list effectively to finally accommodate the reunion between the tactician and his former captain at Rome's Stadio Olimpico.
