Lazio have added Lille left back Reinildo Mandava to their long list of targets ahead of next month’s transfer window.

As reported by Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport (via LazioNews24) earlier today, the Biancocelesti are looking for a new left back in next month’s transfer window, with coach Maurizio Sarri wanting an alternative to Elseid Hysaj.

The 27-year-old Mandava has been identified by Lazio sporting director Igli Tare as a strong option. The Mozambican full back’s contract expires with Lille next year in June.

Napoli are also interested in the Lille left back and have had first contacts with the French side, so the Biancocelesti will need to move fast if they are serious about Mandava.

The 27-year-old Mozambican full back, who joined Lille in the summer of 2019, has made 21 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 1716 minutes. In that time, he has proven his abilities both offensively and defensively.
