Bournemouth are reportedly keen to sign FC Lugano defender Albian Hajdari, but Lazio and others are also in the fray.
Bournemouth Searching for Dean Huijsen’s Replacement
According to TeamTalk, the Cherries are expected to part ways with Dean Huijsen who has been one of the main breakout stars in the Premier League this season. The former Juventus and Roma defender attracted the interest of top clubs all around Europe, including Real Madrid, but the English portal claims Liverpool are leading the race for the 20-year-old.

Therefore, Bournemouth are already searching the market for a replacement, and have reportedly identified yet another Juventus alumnus as the ideal candidate for the role. The source claims the Premier League side is tracking Hajdari who has been showcasing his talent at Lugano since making the move from Turin in 2022.
Lazio & Bologna Join the Race for Hajdari
However, Bournemouth is not alone in the race, as a host of other admirers are also following the 21-year-old who has recently made his bow for the senior Swiss national team. The report names Lazio and Bologna are alternative destinations, and the same goes for Bayer Leverkusen.
Alessio Romagnoli’s Heir?
Hajdari is a left-footed central defender, so he could be a direct replacement for Alessio Romagnoli who is being tipped to leave Lazio due to his frosty relationship with club president Claudio Lotito and the rest of the club’s hierarchy due to a broken promise over a pay rise.
So we r going to lose a world class defender Becoz of lotitos stinginess..if u ain’t got the bucks sell the club and let someone with the financial might to make lazio great again take over..
