Lazio head coach Gennaro Gattuso commented on the possible transfer of Mauro Icardi to the Roman club as a free agent.

The Italian footballer categorically excluded the signing of the 33-year-old Argentine striker, who now has the status of a free agent after the completion of the contract with Galatasaray.

Icardi has already been tied up from Latvia this summer. In the spring, the Romans renewed contacts with a certain forward, who, according to information from Sky Sport Italia, will be more closely contacted before the transition. At the moment, the remaining decision for the club lay in the position of Gattuso.

Now the Lazio coach has realized that the team has already formed an attacking line after the signing of Andrea Pinamonti and Albert Gudmundsson.

“We have made our choice,” they signed Pinamonti and Gudmundsson, and if you give your word to the Gravians, you cannot be convinced of anything. With all the respect to Icardi, I have discussed this with the president and director, and it will be correct to achieve what we expect,” Gennaro Gattuso is quoted as saying by Calciomercato. com.

Narasi Lazio has successfully started the Serie A season - the team won three victories and drew in the first four rounds. For the upcoming match, the Romans will line up with Venice on the road.
