Bucchioni: "There is no way out for Lotito other than selling Lazio"

Expert Enzo Bucchioni was present on Tuttomercatoweb.com's Maracanà program to discuss the situation in Lazio. He commented: "Lotito wants Reggina? These are just political deals, and when he is elected, he will sell them immediately, because there are clear regulations that by 2028 no one can own two football teams. Unfortunately, football has nothing to do with this."

The situation at Lazio is very difficult: "I do not rule out the possibility that Gattuso will leave before being officially appointed. He did that at Fiorentina when he realized there were no conditions to work. That is his personality. He is a straightforward person, often making quite tough decisions. Let's wait and see."

He also added: "This is a difficult situation but it can be resolved. I don't see any way out, this is a war between the fans and Lotito. I hope he will step back. A popular president is needed to reopen dialogue. I see this as a conflict that will cause damage to Lazio."

Also according to Bucchioni, Milan is in a sensitive situation: "They celebrate because they have balanced their finances, but the sports aspect is not important. The way an investment fund thinks is like that. A fund needs to keep a high brand, if it does not want to suffer losses. Currently, who will pay such numbers for Milan?".

Regarding Inter, Bucchioni thinks the price of 50 million euros for Palestra is reasonable: "No, because he was born in 2005, I have watched all Cagliari's matches, he is excellent. He has developed strongly, has the ability to defend and attack, physical strength. I see very few players with such promise. It could be an investment for Inter."

Regarding Sarri's issue, he said: "There is Sarri's consent, so they are targeting Savona as an alternative." Bucchioni also said about Napoli: "I believe that Napoli wants him to have a big World Cup to sell. Salary, injuries, having Hojlund are factors that make me think he will leave. And then Lukaku cannot be asked to sit on the bench."

Finally, talking about Juventus and Vlahovic, Bucchioni said: "He is the ideal person for Spalletti. With Carnevali, the atmosphere has changed, he will try to find common ground. If Vlahovic continues to follow his path, there is no longer a chance to negotiate." As for Fiorentina, he commented on Antognoni's case: "We are entering personal moves. Antognoni has suffered a lot in this situation, being seen as an ordinary person. Personal suffering needs to be respected. This is also the anniversary year of this government, which left him on the sidelines."
