Lazio is reportedly interested in acquiring Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez, who is currently a free agent. The club is seeking a new attacking midfielder to support coach Gennaro Gattuso's 4-2-3-1 formation. Lazio has missed out on other transfer targets, including Jonathan Asp Jensen and Jacopo Fazzini, which has led them to revisit their previous interest in Rodriguez.
