Rocchi's agent: Tommaso prefers Lazio to a move
Mezza Europa vuole Rocchi. Lui sta bene alla Lazio, il presidente Lotito è disposto ad incontrarci per discutere il contratto in scadenza tra 2 anni. Rocchi preferisce essere il primo alla Lazio che il terzo o il quarto in un altro club'. Non è difficile trattare con Lotito -- il presidente della Lazio è una persona squisita, ci vorrebbero tanti dirigenti come lui."Half of Europe wants Rocchi. He is happy at Lazio, and president Lotito is inclined to meet with him to discuss a contract for after two years [when Rocchi's current contract expires]. Rocchi prefers to be the first at Lazio than the third or fourth at another club. It isn't difficult to negotiate with Lotito -- the president of Lazio is a great person, I wish there were more leaders like him."
Amelia would consider a move to Lazio
Livorno goalkeeper Marco Amelia has said that he wouldn't have a problem with a transfer to Lazio (to replace retiring Angelo Peruzzi), despite the fact that he has played for Roma in the past. He says that the motivation for such a move is a matter of professionalism, not revenge.
