Lazio are reportedly monitoring Avaí winger Thayllon Roberth dos Santos as they seek to bolster their attacking options this summer, according to reports from Brazil cited by Cittaceleste. The club is prioritizing investment in both the defense and attack to provide manager Maurizio Sarri with a well-rounded squad.
While Carlos Espí of Levante has emerged as a strong candidate to reinforce the Lazio attack, the Italian club is also exploring other possibilities. Thayllon, who currently plays in the Brazilian Serie B with Avaí, has caught the attention of Lazio officials. The 22-year-old has been a regular contributor for Avaí, demonstrating pace and dribbling ability in the Brazilian second tier.
Lazio president Claudio Lotito arrived at the club’s training ground, Formello, for a meeting with manager Maurizio Sarri, further indicating the club's active approach to the transfer window. The club is aiming to build a squad that aligns with Sarri’s tactical principles. The need for attacking reinforcements stems from a desire to add depth and competition to the forward line, particularly given the demands of Serie A and potential European commitments.
It remains unclear whether Lazio’s interest in Thayllon will develop into a formal transfer bid in the coming weeks, or if he will remain simply a name on their list of potential targets. The club will likely assess other options and the financial implications before making a concrete move. Should Lazio pursue the transfer, it would represent an opportunity for Thayllon to test himself at a higher level in one of Europe’s top leagues. This potential move could provide Lazio with a dynamic attacking option and add further competition for places in the squad.
