Lazio after Elano?

A story in the Corrierre dello Sport today suggests that Lazio might go for Elano in January. Lazio President Claudio Lotito is in the market for a defender and a midfielder (Ousmane Dabo clearly not quite doing the business), and sees Elano as the perfect man to dictate the pace of play from central midfield. Given the pace of the Italian league, this role does sound perfect for him. (English translation here, and of another piece on an Italian site here)

Lotito is said to be pursuing a deal like the one he did for Bianchi this time last year: a 6 month loan with a view to a permanent deal in the summer (although, of course, he decided not to pay up for Rolando).

As long as we're bringing in two more midfielders, I can't see Hughes resisting this too much. Robinho, on the other hand...
