Lazio news

GOAL looks at the biggest storylines among Americans Abroad, including a big match for Chris Richards' Crystal Palace against Manchester United.

Regis Le Bris has responded to mounting speculation linking Sunderland with the signing of Marseille's Matteo Guendouzi. While the Black Cats boss did not commit to an approach for the ex-Arsenal midfielder in the January transfer window, he spoke positively of their relationship. Le Bris was managing Lorient's B team as Guendouzi was coming through the ranks at the French club.

Lazio head coach Maurizio Sarri has demanded the recruitment of foreign referees in Serie A to elevate the officiating standard in the Italian top flight. The 66-year-old was furious about a few decisions taken by the officials during his side's clash against Inter game, but stressed the issues are prevalent in the league.

Inter's 2-0 win over Lazio may not have been pretty, but it was effective. Under coach Cristian Chivu, the Nerazzurri are learning to value substance over style, a shift Paolo Di Canio describes as “aesthetics going to hell”. Lautaro Martinez ended his goal drought while Inter returned to the top of Serie A as Di Canio insists that Chivu’s gritty new philosophy might just be the secret to long-term greatness.

Lazio forward Pedro has announced that he will leave the club as a free agent at the end of the season. The former Barcelona and Chelsea star expressed his desire to help Lazio return to European competitions, aiming to finish his time at the club on a high. Pedro, however, hinted that he could consider continuing his playing career even after his contract concludes.

Lazio head coach Maurizio Sarri went off on a furious rant after his side drew against newly-promoted Pisa on Thursday, lamenting the absence of several first-team players. The former Chelsea and Juventus boss criticised Serie A for not handing the two teams equal rest ahead of the game, but claimed that he remains determined to navigate through the ongoing injury crisis.

Juventus’ crisis deepens as their winless run stretches to six games following a 1-0 defeat to Lazio marking their fourth consecutive match without scoring. Coach Igor Tudor, under rising pressure and sacking rumours, refused to hide behind excuses, bluntly stating that “everyone is responsible” for the team’s collapse, even as he urged unity and insisted he won’t step down.

England legend Paul Gascoigne has made the stark admission that he will never stop drinking, despite the devastating effect alcohol has had on his personal and professional life. 'Gazza', now 58 years old, enjoyed an illustrious career on the pitch for Tottenham, Lazio, Rangers and England, but was dogged by serious issues off it, often linked to the abuse of drink and drugs.

Lazio have strongly refuted claims of a potential Qatari takeover, denouncing them as “completely unfounded” and “fabricated” attempts to destabilise the club and manipulate its stock market value. The Serie A side confirmed no contact or proposal has ever been received from Qatari or other foreign funds. Legal reports have been filed with Italian financial and judicial authorities to identify and act against those behind the rumours.

Lazio and AC Milan legend Alessandro Nesta has revealed that joining the Rossoneri was never part of his plan. The former Italy defender recalled that his 2002 move from Lazio to Milan only materialised after Inter pulled out of a deal at the last moment, leaving him with little choice but to make the switch, a decision that would later define his career.

The latest round of action across Europe's elite leagues saw Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Porto maintain their winning starts to the 2025-26 season. However, while everyone expects Bayern to run away with the Bundesliga, Barca are hot on the heels of Madrid in La Liga, while Porto are presently processing the news that the most famous manager in the club's history has just taken charge of their hated rivals Benfica.

Transfer fees are getting ridiculous nowadays, but you can still negotiate your way to a bargain in the market
