The punch-drunk Biancocelesti are reeling after a dismal Serie A campaign thus far and are desperate to strengthen as the prospect of a relegation battle looms.
While attempts to lure Nigerian star Obodo proved futile after Udinese sporting director Pietro Leonardi confirmed he was not for sale, the capital club are ready to make their first winter addition.
Rolando is a 22-year-old stopper who is seen as a great talent for the future and is winning plaudits throughout Portugal.
The Cape Verde native is keen to make the switch from Lisbon’s second side and it seems that a deal is almost done.
“I’m honoured that a side such as Lazio are trying to sign me,” Rolando told journalists. “I hope that the eventual solution is the best for me and the club.”
Lazio are ready to pay around £650,000 and the paperwork will be completed on Friday after the Coppa Italia clash with Napoli has been played.
