Lazio are set to be one of the more active clubs in the January transfer window after recently receiving clearance from Italy’s financial watchdogs to resume operations in the market.
The green light has opened the door not only to new signings, but also to potential departures. Matteo Cancellieri is emerging as one of the main names to watch, with interest growing from abroad.

According to reports from TMW, Brentford have already sent scouts to monitor the winger in recent Serie A action, while Olympique Marseille, coached by Italian Roberto De Zerbi, are also understood to be tracking his situation closely.
Not just Cancellieri, Isaksen could leave as Lazio eye Otele
Cancellieri is not the only attacking player whose future is uncertain. Gustav Isaksen has also attracted interest from multiple clubs, meaning Lazio could reshape their attacking midfield department before the window closes.
On the incoming front, a move for Lorenzo Insigne has been placed on standby in recent weeks, prompting Lazio to explore alternative profiles.

One new name on the radar is Philip Otele, a versatile forward currently playing for Basel. The Nigerian is capable of operating across the front line and is viewed as a potentially attainable option should space be created through departures.
With interest building around several key attackers, Lazio are weighing up exits and reinforcements in parallel as they look to take full advantage of their restored freedom in the transfer market.
