Martin Ojeda is one of the most exciting talents in South America and Lazio are seriously interested in picking up the 23-year-old.

The Argentinian forward’s potential was clear for years after his move to Racing but it took the jump to Godoy Cruz for him to find his footing on the pitch. Since joining the club in January of this year, Ojeda has proven himself an incredibly talented forward and this season scored 13 goals and provided 14 assists in 45 games across all competitions.

As reported by the Argentinian media (via La Lazio Siamo Noi), Ojeda has made it clear that he wants to make the jump to Europe and Lazio are seriously keen on signing him in the coming months.

Contracted to Godoy Cruz until December 2023, Ojeda has an estimated market value of around €10 million and is also wanted by Mexican outfit Tigres. 

The recent hamstring injury suffered by star striker Ciro Immobile made Lazio’s lack of depth up front clear, prompting the club to search for solutions on the transfer market.
