Felipe Anderson Rejected Saudi Move & Waits for New Lazio Deal

Felipe Anderson reportedly turned down an approach from Saudi side Al-Shabab and is now waiting for a new contract with Lazio.

The Brazilian winger has proven himself to be a crucial part of the Biancocelesti squad since his return from West Ham in the summer of 2021, helping add a key threat to Maurizio Sarri’s attack.

Last season, Felipe Anderson scored 12 goals and provided nine assists across 50 total appearances, seemingly justifying a new deal in the Italian capital.

As reported by Tuttosport (via La Lazio Siamo Noi), Felipe Anderson turned down an offer from Al-Shabab in the summer, not interested in making the jump to Saudi Arabia.

The 30-year-old is happy in the Italian capital and wants to be given a new deal, considering that his current contract expires at the end of the season.

Felipe Anderson wants to extend with Lazio until 2027 with a salary bump to around €3 million net per season plus add-ons. Claudio Lotito is expected to accelerate soon.
