Mohamed Fares has agreed to join Genoa but Lazio want the deal to include an obligation to buy clause.
As reported by Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla last night, the 25-year-old Algerian wing-back is excited at the prospect of joining coach Davide Ballardini’s squad, where he believes that he can relaunch his career.
The Biancocelesti have agreed on a valuation of around €7 million, but they don’t want the deal to be a loan with a buy option attached.

Instead, Lazio want the deal to include an obligation to buy clause, in order to avoid the risk of Fares returning to Rome in a year’s time.

The two clubs are currently in talks and developments are expected soon, with the end of the transfer window swiftly approaching.
The 25-year-old Fares did not impress coach Maurizio Sarri at the pre-season training camp in Auronzo di Cadore and so has not been included in his plans for the project.
