Alessandro Matri has joined Lazio on a season-long loan from AC Milan, the Serie A club have confirmed on their website.
The 31-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan with Juventus, winning his third Scudetto with the Bianconeri after 2012 and 2013 but not doing enough to convince them to offer him a permanent contract.
