Last summer, Samuel Gigot left Olympique de Marseille in the final hours of the transfer window for Lazio Rome. Loaned with an obligation to purchase, the defender has difficulty convincing.
The future of Samuel Gigot is particularly unclear. By leaving Olympique Marseille with an undesirable status, he probably thought he would experience better fortune at Lazio Rome. Upon his arrival, the 31-year-old central defender suffered a shoulder injury and was sidelined for three matches. Once healed, he spent three additional matches on the bench before making his first start under his new colors. It was against Twente in the Europa League. His second start comes once again in C3, against FC Porto. It makes a copy more than clean. However, in the championship, he is unable to reap the fruit of his work in training and inevitably this could call into question a possible permanent transfer from OM to Lazio.
The fate of Samuel Gigot sealed by his trainer
Very little used by Marco Baroni in the championship with only 17 minutes of play in three contested matches, Samuel Gigot is however on an upward slope. According to his coach, the former OM player has all the abilities to gradually establish himself in the starting eleven. “ Gigot is a strong player: he was captain of Marseille, he has a great personality. Today he is healthy and will find more and more space on the pitch. He can bring his great contribution to the team, also in terms of personality and presence “, declared the Lazio Roma technician on RAI Radio.
What can we hope for more playing time in the league in the future? Between injuries and matches started on the bench, his physical maintenance is almost only done during training. A logical brake on the regularity demanded by the high level. As a reminder, Samuel Gigot is on loan to Lazio Rome with a compulsory purchase option under certain conditions. Are we to believe that the Italian club does not want to keep him?
