On Fabrizio Romano's YouTube channel, transfer expert Matteo Moretto discussed Lazio’s interest in Santiago Gimenez. He said:
“Lazio are looking for a centre-forward with a strong physical presence, someone who can provide quality and strength inside the penalty area. The two main names are Santiago Gimenez of AC Milan and Carlos Espí of Levante.
Between the two, Carlos Espí is the player who convinces Lazio more, as the club’s sporting department prefers him due to his characteristics. However, it must be said that both operations would be complicated from a financial point of view.”
