Lazio faces net-zero transfer market restrictions this summer

Summary

Lazio announced they will operate under a net-zero transfer market this summer, limiting their ability to make new signings. The club's financial struggles have intensified, with new Serie A rules reducing the acceptable cost-to-revenue ratio from 80% to 70%, which Lazio failed to meet. While they can buy players, their spending must match generated funds through player sales and other means. The club confirmed the situation via an official communication, detailing the restrictions imposed by the supervisory committee overseeing finance within Serie A.
