Season review

Pre-season

Part of the pre-season was dominated by speculation surrounding Aleksandar Kolarov's possible transfer. In late July, Manchester City managed to procure the left back.^[1] A couple of days, later Lazio presented Javier Garrido, surplus to requirements in Manchester City, as his replacement.^[2]

Lazio was also able to land Brazilian international Hernanes from São Paulo. The highly rated player signed a five-year deal with the club for an undisclosed fee thought to be in the region of £8.2 million.^[3] He was given shirt number 8, previously worn by Karel Poborský and Bernardo Corradi, among others.
