Four Serie A Clubs Queuing up for Unsettled Lazio Winger
Lazio winger Matteo Cancellieri is apparently a wanted man, with four Italian clubs showing interest in his services.
Matteo Cancellieri Has Yet to Fulfil His Early Promise at Lazio
The 24-year-old has been on the Biancocelesti's books since 2022, when he made the move from Hellas Verona . The Italian had two loan spells at Empoli and Parma between 2023 and 2025, before returning to Formello last summer.

This season, Cancellieri started in both the Coppa Italia defeat to Mantova and the Serie A win over Bologna , but has yet to convince . At the Renato Dall'Ara, the winger was hauled off at half-time in favour of the returning Gustav Isaksen , who proved to be an immediate upgrade on the right flank.
Why Lazio Can Manage Without Cancellieri
The Dane is expected to be Gennaro Gattuso's first choice, at least when he regains his best physical condition, having only recently returned to training, while the versatile Tijjani Noslin can cover on the right wing when required. Therefore, Cancellieri might be considered surplus to requirements, and Lazio could be tempted to sell him this summer before his contract expires next year.
Parma Want Cancellieri Back
According to La Lazio Siamo Noi , Parma are hoping to bring the Italian back to the Ennio Tardini. The two clubs would have to work out a permanent transfer due to the player's expiring contract. The source believes a €4 million transfer fee could prove sufficient given the circumstances.

Fiorentina , Bologna & Genoa Also Tracking Cancellieri
On the other hand, Italian journalist Damiano Er Faina doesn't mention anything about Parma, but insists that Fiorentina, Bologna, and Genoa have all enquired about Cancellieri. The next few days should bear important developments on this particular front, as the transfer deadline nears ever closer.
