Lazio have reportedly made contact for Udinese ace Lazar Samardzic as they consider competing with Juventus for his signature.
Biancocelesti Sporting Director Angelo Fabiani has identified a number of important targets for Marco Baroni’s new squad ahead of the summer transfer window and is hard at work setting up deals for Hatayspor’s Fisayo Dele-Bashiru and Hellas Verona’s Tijjani Noslin.
Lazio have also set their sights on various other interesting players like Gent left-back Archie Brown, Hammarby winger Viktor Djukanovic and Feyenoord midfielder Calvin Stengs. Rumours claimed of interest in Mason Greenwood, but a deal for the controversial Manchester United winger doesn’t seem realistic.
As reported by Alfredo Pedulla, Lazio have asked after Samardzic as they consider a possible move for the Udinese midfielder, having already registered their interest in the last two transfer windows. Juventus are also interested, but he’s not considered a priority at this stage.
The 22-year-old Serbian midfielder could likely leave the Friulian outfit for around €15-16 million plus add-ons, a fairly high fee for the Biancocelesti considering Claudio Lotito’s hesitance to invest too heavily into a single player.
