Lazio considers new attacking midfielder as Gattuso and Fabiani differ

Summary

Lazio is pursuing a new attacking midfielder, with Gennaro Gattuso favoring Luka Stojkovic and Angelo Fabiani leaning towards Jonathan Asp Jensen. Gattuso's preference is influenced by his coaching style, which may shift to a 4-2-3-1 formation. Stojkovic had a successful season at Dinamo Zagreb, while Fabiani has reportedly agreed on terms with Asp Jensen, who is currently with Bayern Munich. Lazio's need for an attacking midfielder has become crucial since the departure of Luis Alberto in 2024. The club aims to finalize an agreement soon.
