A suggestion that makes fans dream. The name of James Rodriguez he has been circulating in the Biancoceleste environment since yesterday morning and has already sparked the imagination of Lazio fans. A quality attacking midfielder to give to Baroni to complete a squad already reinforced with promising youngsters in the first days of the transfer market. James yes, James no. Lazio is thinking about it and trying to understand what the conditions are to bring the Colombian talent relaunched by an extraordinary Copa America to Rome. The question is one, is the game worth the candle? From a technical point of view the answer is simple, James has the talent that Lazio lacks after the many heavy farewells this summer. The Colombian has the status of a champion, has a prestigious past and a considerable hunger. He asked San Paolo to free himself and has become a free agent, he wants to return to Europe to take back what he left a year and a half ago, when he freed himself from Olympiacos before going to Brazil. Before Greece, the parenthesis in Qatar, where he went after the difficult adventure at Everton. Now he wants to return to being a protagonist in Europe, at 33 years old he can still make an impact and do well and his agent Jorge Mendes is working to bring him back to the old continent.
The idea of Lazio
At the moment Lazio lacks a pure attacking midfielder, a number ten who Mark Baroni can deploy behind the striker in the 4-2-3-1 tested in Auronzo di Cadore. In reality, the Biancoceleste coach has made it clear that the playing system can do without a pure attacking midfielder, inserting a midfielder like Guendouzi or Dele-Bashiru into that area of the pitch. However, this squad lacks a finisher, a player capable of creating from nothing like Luis Alberto has done for years. James would arrive in Rome with a lot of enthusiasm and would light up a team that has been greyed by a complicated summer, given the many important farewells that have taken place. The Colombian would arrive on a free transfer and with a salary that is certainly within reach, but at this moment Lazio is reflecting. They are not convinced of the player’s physical condition and above all they are evaluating alternative options. The idea is to rejuvenate the squad and focusing on a 33-year-old would not be the wisest choice. However, opportunity makes a thief and the suggestion of James Rodriguez has turned on a light bulb at Formello. A flame that instead blazes in the white and blue environment, with the fans dreaming of a new Diez, one of those who have driven Europe and the entire world crazy with his world-class plays.
