Lazio: renewal in sight for Pedro, work also underway on Gila, Taty requested by...

Rome 8 June 2025 - Marco Baroni and its Lazio they have failed in their objectives and now a team restyling is needed. The new coach has been found with the return of Maurizio Sarri, now we need to work on the squad to make available to him and we start by confirming the best of the last season. The doubt in goal remains alive between mandas e Provedel, with the concrete chance of being able to get to a transfer of the Greek, in the event that the coach decides to focus on the player from Pordenone again. There are no doubts about the position of two of the three Spanish players in the Lazio squad. In the minds of the management and of Sarri same, Pedro Rodriguez e Mario gila They will be part of this team's roster, but their positions for the future at the moment are very different.

Pedro still feels ready for another high level season in Serie A and all the signs point to a prompt renewal of his contract. In terms of numbers, last year's season was his best since he arrived in Italy, thus deserving another year on the pitch with the Biancoceleste jersey. In the next few hours, his signature is expected on a contract expiring in June 2026, maintaining his salary of just over 2 million euros. Sarri he would thus find a player he already had at the time of Chelsea and with which he built his fortune Lazio in recent seasons, so much so that in some appearances he became the most used player of his career.

Much less clear, however, is the future of the Biancoceleste team Mario gila. The Spanish arrived in 2022 from Real Madrid and at the time he signed a five-year contract, which is however due to expire soon: the date set for 2027. His agreement has never been touched in these years and his vertical growth in recent seasons is leading Lazio to have to provide in some way for the future of the Spaniard born in 2000. Two seasons ago it was precisely Maurizio Sarri to consecrate his growth on the field, promoting him to the role of starter. So much trust from the coach therefore not only towards Romagnoli, but also of the Spaniard, whose contract is however very tempting for several top-level clubs in Europe.

The Hispanic player with the Biancocelesti earns around 1 million euros per year, figures among the lowest of the squad, which is also fueling his dissatisfaction. One of the priorities of this summer is precisely that of a new economic agreement with Mario gilaThe market sirens make a lot of noise and when teams like Chelsea, Manchester City, PSG, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Inter and Milan, without a doubt the ears open to listen to all the interests of the case. The Lazio, with a contract that will last another two years, has raised the valuation bar to 50 million, half of which will be transferred to Real Madrid, by virtue of the agreement that brought the player to the Eternal City. 

Already a few months ago the president of Lazio Claudio Lotito and the club's sports director Angelo Fabiani had contacted the player's agent for an adjustment of the salary and consequent extension. Others are expected in the next few days, with a live meeting in Formello or elsewhere to be scheduled to try to put the new contract on paper. A failure of these negotiations could lead to an acceleration for his transfer in the summer, in order to avoid situations like those of Milinkovic-Savic and Luis Alberto in recent years: that is, a player whose contracts expire, who dreams of being sold. 

Lazio Market: Castellanos is no longer unsellable and has a market abroad

The Lazio market does not only involve confirmations and renewals, but could also offer opportunities from the outgoing market or from some returns from loans. As regards the transfers, the confirmation of Taty Castilians in attack. The Argentine was undoubtedly among the best last season under the guidance of Marco Baroni. The Tuscan coach often relied on him to lead the attack, willingly delegating to his talent. This has undoubtedly placed him among the interesting subjects of the club, also igniting the transfer rumors.

On the trail of the player is a potential return across the Atlantic, with the Chicago Fire, club of the Major League Soccer, to have tested the waters. Castilians He is in fact a player who has travelled the world. He grew up in Chile, atUniversity of Chile, he passed through Uruguay, before arriving in the United States, where he wore the jersey of New York City. As of today the MLS It is the championship where the Argentine has played the most matches, followed by ours Serie AIn the Land of Stars and Stripes he left a good memory, football-wise, and this is apparently convincing the Chicago club to bring him back to the States.

Even Saudi Arabia has reportedly started to sound market sirens for the player. However, these are not the goals Taty is aiming for at the moment. The 1998-born boy has won the Argentine national team for the first time in his career this year and has no intention of abandoning the Albiceleste for now. In fact, for now the idea is to stay in Europe in order to then return to the squad of Lionel Scaloni in view of the 2026 World of the United States, Canada and Mexico, where Argentina has already qualified. 

Precisely for this reason, the sirens from the United States and Arab countries do not scare the Lazio team for now. However, there are also clubs from Premier League and the Spanish League. For Spanish football, where he has already shone with the jersey of Girona, be especially careful of Villareal e Real Betis, which can offer a place respectively in Champions ed Europa League. Sarri considers him an important pawn for his team, but not indispensable, for this reason, faced with the right offer, the doors can be opened to a possible transfer.
