Lazio are hunting for defenders in the summer transfer window and after the incoming coach Marcelo Bielsa refused to sanction a bid for Jardel, the names that remain in the notebook are Aloe (Marseille) Paraguayan Gomez (Lanus) and according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Rodrigo Caio of San Paolo.
 

There is also movement on the last line of defence too, with Gianluca Di Marzio claiming that French goalkeeper Steve Mandanda is also on the radar this summer. The 31-year-old is already negotiating with Premier League side Crystal Palace, but Lazio remain hopeful on bringing him to the Italian capital on a free transfer.
