Emanuele Valeri had contacts with Lazio, and they had reached an agreement. However, the deal did not materialize due to a non-contractual detail.

Emanuele Valeri seemed destined for Lazio, but in the end, he chose to wear the yellow and blue colors of Parma.

Emanuele Valeri was expected to transfer to Lazio next year. The player, who is also a Lazio fan, was imagined to follow a path similar to that of Romagnoli and Pellegrini in recent years. However, this scenario has not been confirmed by the player. In fact, he said last February that he was not aware of this scenario. The player's agent, Daniele Ferri, clarified the situation. He confirmed that there were negotiations with Lazio, but that they failed several months ago due to the parties not reaching an agreement.
