Lazio president Claudio Lotito has spoken about the summer transfer window when he missed out on striker Mason Greenwood to Marseille, saying he does not regret it because he wants a reliable player, not a hired gun looking for a big offer to join his team.

OM has agreed to pay 31.6 million euros for Greenwood to Manchester United in exchange for the 23-year-old, who despite having a history of physically abusing his girlfriend, has now turned over a new leaf and has made 7 appearances for head coach Roberto De Zerbi, scoring 5 goals and providing 1 assist. 

It’s a pity for Lazio because they negotiated with Greenwood first, but the English player didn’t choose him. When asked at this time if they regret it, President Lotito was stubborn and even sarcastically criticized Mason. 

“There are no regrets at all. We don’t just want hired guns,” Corriere dello Sport told reporters.

“He is happy at Marseille – the player chose that path and that’s fine.” 

“We don’t accept players who just come as hired guns. We only want those who have the heart to do it. Lazio.” 

That leaves Lazio with four forwards set to UFABET step foot in the Stadio Olimpico in the summer of 2024 , with Fisa Dele – Bashiru , Taiani Noslin , Lum Chauna and Bulay Dia.
