Gennaro Gattuso continues to look at the market with the aim of completing Lazio's squad and, according to the Italian press, he is once again looking to his former home to find solutions. According to the Rome edition of

For Gattuso, the possible move by Musah has an additional argument: the North American international was his player at Valencia, a context in which the Italian coach was able to get to know the midfielder's qualities and competitive personality up close. The versatility of the Milan football player, capable of playing different roles in the midfield, is one of the assets that pleases the coach most, as it allows the team to adjust to different systems and moments of the game without losing intensity or coverage capacity.

It is important, however, to emphasize that the situation is still in its embryonic phase. According to the same body, for now it is an initial interest, and Musah's name could simply be put on the table in the next dialogues between Lazio and Milan. There is no reference to formal proposals or values, so the scenario remains in the realm of possibilities.

In attack, Santiago Giménez remains one of the targets identified to increase the competitiveness of the offensive sector. The Mexican forward is gaining market share after good seasons in European clubs and is on the radar of several teams, being identified as a profile capable of offering presence in the area and effective finishing — exactly the type of arguments that Lazio is looking for to complement the current squad.

The strategy outlined by Gattuso therefore involves combining the experience of direct knowledge of some players with the squad's clear needs. The midfield lacks versatile solutions with a wide range of action, while the attack requires greater depth and decision-making capacity in key moments.

With the season approaching and the market gaining traction, Lazio is evaluating scenarios and interlocutors. The door to potential talks with Milan remains ajar thanks to the interest in Musah, while the Giménez dossier remains active to reinforce the attack. For now, signs of intention; the next few days will tell whether Gattuso's wishes are converted into concrete negotiations.

What happens next

The purchase option in the contract indicates that the club has high expectations for the player, who could be a key player in its future ambitions. During the summer, Fiorentina will be able to evaluate Jiménez's performance and decide whether to keep him permanently, depending on his impact in competitions.
