Gattuso wants Gimenez and Lucca, Lazio prefers internal striker solutions

Summary

Gennaro Gattuso, the new head coach of Lazio, aims to bolster his attacking options by targeting Santiago Gimenez and Lorenzo Lucca. Lazio struggled for goals last season, with no player surpassing five goals. Gattuso views Gimenez, currently at Milan, as a potential key addition after a disappointing spell, while Lucca seeks to revive his career after a lackluster loan at Nottingham Forest. However, Lazio's management is urging Gattuso to focus on developing Petar Ratkov, rather than pursuing external signings due to financial constraints.
