Lazio, the Italian Serie A club based in Rome, has been hit by financial constraints that have limited their transfer market activity this summer.
The club has struggled to find the funds needed to sign new players and has had to rely on loan deals and bargain buys from other clubs.
In addition, Lazio has also faced criticism for not investing enough in youth development, which is seen as a key factor in building a successful football team.
Despite these challenges, Lazio manager Simone Inzaghi remains optimistic about the club's future and believes that with the right approach, they can turn things around.
"We need to be patient and focus on developing our young players," he said. "We know that it will take time, but we believe in our abilities and we want to build a strong squad."
While the financial constraints may make it difficult for Lazio to sign top-tier talent, the club has still managed to attract some notable signings over the past few months, including Brazilian winger Rodrigo de Freitas and Dutch midfielder Davy Propper.
However, the lack of funds has meant that Lazio has had to rely on cheaper options, such as Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku and Argentine defender Federico Bernardeschi.
Despite these limitations, Lazio has shown resilience and determination throughout the season, finishing in fourth place and qualifying for next year's Europa League.
With the support of owner Aurelio De Laurentiis and a new stadium set to open in the coming years, Lazio has the potential to become one of Italy's most successful teams once again. While the road ahead may be challenging, the club's commitment to development and hard work shows that they have what it takes to succeed.
