Lazio sell Patric to Al-Ettifaq: official statement

“S.S. Lazio announces that it has permanently transferred the player Patricio Gabarrón Gil to Al-Ettifaq, a club in the United Arab Emirates,” the Biancocelesti said in a statement on Monday.

Patric, 33, made 16 appearances across all competitions with Lazio last season, but hadn’t yet played a single minute in competitive matches under Gennaro Gattuso in the 2026-27 campaign.

The Spaniard joined the Biancocelesti from Barcelona’s youth sector in 2015 and went on to make 244 appearances for the Serie A side, scoring six goals.

During his time at the Stadio Olimpico, he won the Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana twice.
