Attributed to original sourceLazio are hoping to get a new striker, but only offering loan deals for Napoli’s Lorenzo Lucca after Nottingham Forest, and Fiorentina’s Roberto Piccoli.
The Aquile are revamping their squad under new coach Gennaro Gattuso and never really replaced Taty Castellanos following his January sale to West Ham United.
It is reported that the first request is for a big centre-forward, and the preferred pick is Lucca.

Lucca failed to impress at either club , managing a total of three goals in 32 competitive appearances this season.

They might also try to include him as a way of lowering the cost of Mario Gila.
The proposal is reported to be with an option worth €18m, which might be too low for the Partenopei.
Another candidate for Lazio could be Piccoli, although again Tuttomercatoweb, Sport Mediaset and Gazzetta dello Sport warn they are only prepared to bring him in on loan from Fiorentina.

What happened
According to Football Italia, Lazio are looking to reinforce their attacking options ahead of the next transfer window. The Rome-based club have identified Lorenzo Lucca, who is on loan at Nottingham Forest from Udinese, as a potential target. They are also considering Roberto Piccoli of Fiorentina, who previously played for Cagliari. With Lucca struggling for game time in the Premier League and Piccoli seeking more regular football, both players could be available. Lazio are believed to be evaluating both options as they look to bolster their frontline.
Chance analysis
This is a speculative transfer report indicating Lazio's intent to add a striker. Lucca's situation at Nottingham Forest suggests a return to Serie A is plausible, while Piccoli's profile fits a side looking for a rotation option. For prediction systems, Lazio's attacking depth may improve if either signing materializes, but no concrete deal is confirmed. The story is more relevant for squad planning than immediate match impact.
Potential positive addition to Lazio's attacking depth if either transfer completes, but no immediate match impact.
