G. Isaksen leaving Lazio?
Gustav Isaksen, a forward for Lazio, shared that during his tenure with coach Tudor, there was a lack of rapport, and Tudor expressed a desire for him to leave the club so that other players could be brought in. Isaksen had previously pushed for his transfer from Midtjylland to Lazio the prior summer to achieve his dream of playing at a high level. However, he reconsidered his future when Tudor informed him that he was not suitable for the team. The situation improved following Tudor's departure and the arrival of coach Baroni, who appreciates Isaksen's qualities. Isaksen is now content and aims to excel with Lazio and his national team.
Isaksen is being considered for a potential transfer if no solution is found for Pedro or Hysaj's situation.
Baroni has dismissed the rumors of a poor performance by Isaksen during this training camp and the possibility of his departure. Baroni expressed confidence in Isaksen's potential, stating that this year could be his season.
The president of the club, Claudio Lotito, has forbidden the sale of Isaksen.
Gustav Isaksen is one of the first puzzles to be solved at Lazio for the next season. The Danish wing is in a limbo: his technical characteristics do not marry well with Tudor's 3-4-2-1, but he would like to have the chance to start a seasonal path from the beginning with the Croatian coach, to try to play his cards better. Costing 12 million plus another 4 bonus a year ago, for the biancoceleste coach he can be sold, but after a season in the shadows, in which he first paid the adaptation period to Sarri's schemes and then suffered the change of guidance on the bench, the risk of making a capital loss with his card is very high for the company.
Isaksen is mentioned as one of the players that the coach does not find functional to his way of playing.
Without Champions, Lazio will have to find elsewhere the necessary funds for the summer market. There will be several changes in the squad in view of next year. Tudor needs specific characteristics in different roles and not all the current elements have adapted well to the change of module. To make the necessary additions, however, the company will first have to raise some money with some sales (in addition to the already certain goodbye of Felipe Anderson and the probable ones of Luis Alberto and Pedro, which will nevertheless significantly lower the wage bill). According to Corriere dello Sport, the sacrifice could be Gustav Isaksen. The Danish winger, who landed in Formello last summer for 12 million euros plus 4 bonuses, paid for the initial adaptation period with Sarri. Then when things started to get better, the change of technical guidance made him slip back in the hierarchies. In the advanced department, in fact, he is the element that has least been able to adapt to the new game system, despite the commitment appreciated by the coach. The position of the former Midtyjlland, class 2001, will be evaluated in the coming weeks by the management; but also for a contractual issue - which would make it easier to give him up compared to others - the decision seems almost already directed towards the early end of his adventure. Isaksen, in fact, arrived on a permanent basis right away, unlike for example Rovella and Pellegrini, who transferred from Juventus formally on loan, albeit with an obligation to redeem. An obligation that will only take effect from next year, but the Bianconeri do not intend to give up the total 20 million for the two cards. Hence the greater difficulties in putting one of them on the market. Regardless of the fact that neither the president nor the ds actually want to do it. On the contrary, both are convinced of the qualities and potential of the midfielder and the full-back. In fact, the biancoceleste management is pushing for a greater involvement of everyone in the rotations in the future. On Isaksen - equally highly esteemed by the patron - it will instead necessarily take a step back, even if only one year after the investment for his arrival.
Gustav Isaksen could leave Lazio in the summer. Unlike his teammate, the change of module does not help him at all and despite his spirit of sacrifice to make himself available to the coach, the adaptation is not giving good results from the point of view of performance. Just a year ago his transfer from Midtyjlland cost 16 million, and the club cannot absolutely afford to put a capital loss on the balance sheet. At the end of the championship, writes the CorSport, evaluations will be made regarding his future. He is a 2001 and moving in time could still have a lot of market, to allow the company to enter the investment.
Isaksen can also be sold for important offers.
