Lazio have reportedly secured an accord with Pogon Szczecin for their young attacking midfielder Adrian Przyborek.

Lazio’s January Deals So Far

The Aquile have already made four signings in January, bringing in Petar Ratkov, Kenneth Taylor, Edoardo Motta, and Daniel Maldini, but they remain keen on closing a few more deals before the end of the month. Claudio Lotito and Angelo Fabiani apparently have their hands on their fifth signing after making rapid progress in the club-to-club negotiations.

Lazio on the Verge of Signing Adrian Przyborek

According to Polish journalist Thomas Wlodarczyk, Lazio have struck a deal with Pogon Szczecin, who agreed to sell Przyborek for a fixed transfer fee of €4.5 million plus €2.5 million in bonuses, and a 20% sell-on fee on a future resale. The 19-year-old is expected to arrive in Rome on Thursday to undergo his medical before signing a contract with the Italian capital club.

The 19-year-old is a creative player who often plays as an attacking midfielder, a role that doesn’t exist in Maurizio Sarri’s 4-3-3 system. Nevertheless, he can be deployed as a box-to-box midfielder, similar to Luis Alberto during the manager’s first reign at Formello.

Przyborek’s Career Path & Stats

The teenager is considered one of the brightest young talents in Poland. He has been at Pozon since 2020 and was promoted to the first team in 2023. He went on to make 83 appearances, scoring five goals and registering 13 assists.

    1. It’s a strange signing. Sarri doesn’t play with a #10 role. This tells me that Sarri is gone at the end of the season, and that Lotito is banking on the next coach to field a formation that has a proper #10 role.

      1. At 19 he could begin as a super sub for the second half of the season, someone that can bring creativity in games we’re drawing or losing. I am expecting a more established box-to-box midfielder to arrive before Friday.
        Even Lolito must see that scoring goals this season has been our problem and we need someone to link defence to attack and set up the front three

  1. From his highlights he can play for sure, and has the creativity we lack.

    How he gets deployed is a different story…
