Overview
- Reports on July 2 say Inter and Lazio agreed a transfer worth about €3 million for goalkeeper Ivan Provedel, with a multi-year contract expected and medicals scheduled in Milan next week.
- Inter plans to use Provedel as an experienced backup goalkeeper behind the club’s promoted option Martinez rather than as a starter.
- Lazio will gain both the transfer fee and notable salary savings from Provedel’s exit, funds the club intends to apply directly to signings while sticking to a saldo-zero budget model.
- Sporting director contacts and a meeting between Fabiani and coach Gennaro Gattuso have prioritized a central defender and a striker, and Lazio is negotiating targets including Asp, Dominguez and Roberto Piccoli ahead of the July preseason.
- Fan protests against president Claudio Lotito on July 2 have increased pressure on club leadership as Lazio balances sales, wage cuts and a fast squad rebuild before the Formello training camp starting in mid-July.
