Lazio's midfield rebuild: Guendouzi nears €27M Fenerbahçe move
4 Jan
Summary
- Matteo Guendouzi is reportedly close to joining Fenerbahçe for €27 million.
- Guendouzi has agreed personal terms on a five-year contract.
- Lazio plans to sign two new midfielders after Guendouzi's potential departure.
Lazio is reportedly on the cusp of a significant midfield reshuffling, as negotiations for Matteo Guendouzi's transfer to Fenerbahçe have intensified. The Turkish club has submitted a formal proposal, indicating that the deal is valued at around €25 million, with an additional €2 million in potential bonuses. Guendouzi has also reportedly reached an agreement on personal terms, with a five-year contract awaiting him.
The potential departure of Guendouzi, coupled with the recent €30 million sale of Taty Castellanos to West Ham, has prompted Lazio to re-evaluate their transfer strategy. The funds generated from these sales are expected to be reinvested in strengthening the midfield.
With these financial maneuvers in progress, Lazio's management is now targeting two new midfielders to bolster Maurizio Sarri's squad. Lazar Samardžić and Giovanni Fabbian are reportedly among the club's primary targets as they aim to secure dynamic young talent in the coming days.
