Lazio considers contract extensions for nine players before deadline
Summary

Lazio faces a challenging situation with nine players entering the final year of their contracts at the start of the 2026/27 season. Players Ivan Provedel, Alessio Romagnoli, Mario Gila, and others risk leaving the club for free at season's end. While some players are open to short-term extensions, others like Romagnoli and Gila are attracting interest from rival clubs, complicating negotiations. Incoming manager Gennaro Gattuso may advocate for Gigot's retention despite his injury concerns and high salary. The situation highlights Lazio's need for strategic planning as they navigate contract discussions.
