Lazio have made an offer for Leicester City striker Lorenz Hutchinson, while they try to send Boulaye Dia to Rennes and Petar Ratkov to Levante.
The Aquile are in action this evening with their second Serie A game of the season against Genoa, but meanwhile the club directors are working round the clock to give coach Gennaro Gattuso a suitable squad.
Lazio working to revamp strikers
According to GIVEMESPORT, a proposal worth £1m has been made to buy Leicester City forward Hutchinson, even though he is yet to make his senior debut for the club.
He scored 15 goals in 15 games for the Under-18 Premier League side last season, and played for England at Under-19 level.
The deal isn’t quite done yet, as they are still discussing the terms, including a sell-on clause.
Meanwhile, Sky Sport Italia report that the Biancocelesti are in the process of releasing two other forwards abroad.
Dia is eager for a move to Stade Rennais, but while the player has agreed personal terms, the two clubs continue to discuss both the financial aspects of the deal, and even more crucially the formula involved.
It remains to be seen if they’ll work out a loan with option or obligation to buy.
The same source also notes that a loan has been agreed for Ratkov to join Levante in Spain, although the forward still has to discuss personal terms.
It is set to be a loan at €1m with option to buy for a further €14m.
