Lazio have reportedly entered the fray for Federico Bernardeschi who’s also linked with a return to Juventus this month.
The Italian spent seasons with the Bianconeri before leaving the club in July 2022 and joining Toronto FC on a flexible transfer.
However, the winger maintains a good relationship with the Bianconeri, who will sign him at the end of January.
The 29-year-old will reportedly be on loan until June before returning to Toronto to resume the MLS campaign.
But according to the famous Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus now face the festival of Lazio, who are also betting on a winger.
The journalist notes that the capital reunites Bernardeschi with his former coach at Juventus, Maurizio Sarri.
“Lazio enters the market to strengthen the squad that Maurizio Sarri has,” Di Marzio said in his appearance on Sky Sport Italia via TuttoJuve.
“The Biancocelesti are looking for an attacking player, to bring an additional option to the attacking flanks. Lazio are evaluating the path that would lead Federico Bernardeschi.
“It would be six months where he would meet Maurizio Sarri.
“Bernardeschi would like to play his cards to convince Spalletti ahead of this summer’s European Championship.
“Furthermore, the Italian winger would be ready to make a sacrifice from an economic point of view to return to Italy and wear the Biancoceleste shirt.
“But not just Bernardeschi: Lazio have also presented an offer of 8 million euros to Atalanta for Nicolò Cambiaghi, a winger currently on loan at Empoli. However, La Dea is asking for a higher figure.”
The Euro 2020 winner is a herbaceous winger, so we would have compatibility in Sarri’s 4-3-3 formula without any problems.
Whereas at Juventus, he might be asked to feature in various roles across the field, between the midfield and the wingbacks.
