Marchisio Welcomes Lazio Move

Juventus-owned midfielder Claudio Marchisio has welcomed talk of a summer move to Lazio.


Marchisio is rated as one of the peninsula’s best up-and-coming midfielders, and he has impressed for the Italy Under-21s in the Toulon Tournament so far, scoring a stunning 30-yard half-volley to win the game against Turkey on Friday evening.

However the 22-year-old is highly likely to be sold by Juventus this summer, and Lazio have been strong linked with making a move.

“I have read and heard rumours that the Biancocelesti are interested in me,” Marchisio told the Corriere dello Sport.

“The first thing I thought was that if a great club like Lazio are chasing me then I must be playing well.

“Then I was just really proud because I can only be proud to be on the Aquile’s shopping list.

“I know that Delio Rossi is a very prepared Coach tactically and it would be great to play in his side.

“I have had a good season at Empoli and it would be a big step up to play in Rome.”

Marchisio made 26 appearances in Serie A this past season on loan at Empoli, however he could not prevent them from being relegated to Serie B.
