Lazio is actively seeking a new striker, with Fiorentina's Roberto Piccoli identified as the top target. The club previously parted ways with Taty Castellanos in January and currently relies on Petar Ratkov, who has not yet scored. Despite expectations for Ratkov to remain, Lazio aims to improve their attacking options. Sources indicate that with Fabio Grosso's appointment as Fiorentina's new coach, Piccoli may find playing time limited under a new 4-3-3 system. Lazio's ability to secure Piccoli depends on their financial flexibility in the summer transfer market.
