Lazio is seriously considering the opportunity to bring back Michael Folorunsho in Rome, a possibility that until a few days ago seemed unthinkable. The midfielder, currently separated at home at Napoli, is available for 12 million euros. It is a significant figure but not prohibitive for what could be the coup of the summer at home Biancoceleste. Folorunsho is considered one of the most promising midfielders in the championship, so much so that Luciano Spalletti had called him up for the European Championship. Furthermore, his return to work with Marco Baroni, the coach who launched him in Serie B with Reggina and made him explode last season at Verona, adds further allure to the operation.
However, Lazio must consider a few things before closing the deal. The club has already invested in Dele Bashiru, a midfielder with similar characteristics to Folorunsho, but three years younger and with notable physical qualities. Furthermore, Lazio has focused on Castrovilli, who has recently recovered physically, and who could add quality to the team once he finds his rhythm again. Regardless of the formation that Baroni decides to adopt, 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, the arrival of Folorunsho would be an important addition, but the negotiation with De Laurentiis could be complex.
Another aspect to consider is the price: spending for a player lost on a free transfer in 2017 is not an easy decision for Lotito, even if bringing Folorunsho back to Formello would be a great satisfaction. The midfielder, in fact, has an eagle tattooed on his thigh and the video in which he kisses the tattoo after a goal against Roma has gone viral, fueling the enthusiasm of Lazio fans, who hope for his return. A little more enthusiasm could do the Biancoceleste environment some good. Lo reports The Courier of Sport,
