Lazio has made finding a new attacker a priority for the upcoming season, with coach Gennaro Gattuso requesting a player with more physical presence in the final third. According to LaLazioSiamoNoi.it, among the names linked to the club, 25-year-old Italian international Roberto Piccoli is not considered a particularly concrete option. The Fiorentina striker is reportedly seen as having characteristics too similar to Petar Ratkov, a player in whom the club's management has confidence after a significant investment was made in him last summer. In the 2025/2026 Serie A season, Piccoli made 32 appearances, scoring 4 goals and providing 1 assist. He has one cap for Italy, and his contract with Fiorentina runs until 2030. His current Transfermarkt market value is €14.00m, and he has also been linked with Roma.
