World governing body FIFA have placed an embargo on Lazio from buying any player from outside of Italy, according to reports.
The Italian giants still have payments to make to Manchester United, Valencia and Velez Sarsfield over the signings of Jaap Stam, Gaizka Mendieta and Lucas Castroman.
FIFA have stopped them from signing any more new men from abroad until they have cleared some of their debts.
Meanwhile, Cruzeiro officials are set to fly into Rome soon for talks regarding Juan Pablo Sorin’s move to Lazio.
The Biancocelesti are set to try to get the club to lower the £6.5m fee that was previously agreed. However, the South American’s are set to stand their ground.
Lazio already suffered a transfer set-back earlier this week when the Italian Football League declined to accept the registration of summer signings Massimo Oddo, Christian Manfredini and Eriberto because of financial difficulties.
