Lazio's marketing strategy has not changed, and they continue to make efforts to acquire Jimenez. Milan's attacking player Jimenez has been chosen by Gennaro Gattuzzo to strengthen his attacking line. However, this deal is not easy. Lazio are facing limitations on their budget this season as well as competition from Porto.After the friendly match against Ascoli, Gattuzzo reiterated the club's policy, saying, "We don't just need to take players, but we must not be wrong with the two purchases that will come. We definitely need an attacking player, and then also a central defender."
Although Lazio youngster Ratkov has performed well in pre-season, the club is in need of a striker with more experience. Jiménez still remains coach Gattuzzo's priority, even though Porto has increased contacts with Milan and is currently stronger in economic resources.Lazio are continuing talks with Jimenez's agent Rafael Pimenta, raising the possibility that they could offer the player a permanent role, especially after he has had a difficult season at Milan. As for the main issue of this transaction, Lotito and Fabiani are trying to buy the rights with a loan deal, while Milan want more guarantees for a player who was bought for around 30 million euros.
Additionally, the club also have a few other options, including Benfica's Ivanovic, Sassuolo's Pinamonti, West Ham's Fulkrug and Fluminense's Kennedy, but Jimenez still tops Gattuzzo's wish-list.
What will happen next
Lazio are now continuing talks with Jimenez's agent Rafael Pimenta, making it likely they will try to offer the player a permanent role. If Lazio is successful in the competition with Porto, Jimenez could become an important player in Serie A. In addition, according to Gattuzzo's strategy, the club also needs an experienced striker and a central defender.
