The 24-year-old centre-back currently earns around €650,000 net per season and this is set to increase significantly in the new deal, which will tie him to the club until 2026.
Spanish side Real Betis are one of the many clubs interested in signing Luiz Felipe but he is considered a key part of coach Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio squad, so they have no interest in losing the player.
