Lazio eye Edon Zhegrova as Genoa pursue Matteo Cancellieri

Summary

Lazio are considering a transfer for Juventus winger Edon Zhegrova as they prepare for the potential departure of Matteo Cancellieri. Cancellieri has started in Lazio's first two official matches of the season but is reportedly facing competition for his position from Gustav Isaksen, increasing the likelihood of his exit. Genoa is reportedly leading the chase for Cancellieri, looking to strengthen their squad after a disappointing opening match against Napoli. Lazio could move for Zhegrova if Cancellieri leaves, given that he has struggled for playing time at Juventus since joining last summer.
