Lazio call off Carrizo deal Thursday 30 August, 2007
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After weeks of twists and turns, Lazio have officially pulled out of the
signing of Argentine goalkeeper Juan Pablo Carrizo.
The Biancocelesti’s attempt to replace the retired Angelo Peruzzi has been
long and arduous and it seems that their weeks of attempts to secure the
services of young star Carrizo were in vain.
The capital club agreed a deal with the 23-year-old’s club River Plate
amounting to around ￡5m, but the Aquile were thwarted by complications in
Carrizo’s attempt to procure an Italian passport.
While Carrizo insisted that hs great granfather was born in Pinerolo in
Piedmont, the documents that were shown were called into question and the
process was delayed.
As the August 31 deadline for becoming an EU player now cannot be met, it
seems likely that the Stadio Olimpico side will wait until January to
complete the transfer.
“Lazio and River Plate would like to communicate that due to bureaucratic
reasons, the agreement of July 18 is now no longer valid and Carrizo will
remain property of River Plate until Lazio can sign him,” a statement read.
Whether Carrizo is still needed after the arrival of Uruguayan ‘keeper
Fernando Musiera this week remains to be seen.
