Lazio's sporting director, Angelo Fabiani, is monitoring the Argentinian market for defensive reinforcements for next season and is following Lautaro Rivero. The River Plate player, born in 2003, is part of the Argentina national team setup under Scaloni, but he is not the only prospect being considered, as the club is also tracking other profiles from the Argentinian top flight. The centre-back joined River Plate in January 2024 and his contract runs until the end of 2028. He has made 11 appearances and scored one goal in the Torneo Apertura this season. His current market value is €7.00m, according to Transfermarkt. Several other clubs have also been linked with the player, including Inter, Brighton & Hove Albion, and West Ham United.
