Bayern Munich Midfielder Rejects All Other Offers as He Awaits Lazio Move

Lazio remain the big favorites to sign Bayern Munich youngster Jonathan Asp Jensen, who has long agreed to join them.

The Background

The 20-year-old is a Danish attacking midfielder who shares the same representatives as Lazio players Gustav Isaksen and Oliver Provstgaard. He is said to be a good friend of the latter. The Gauerslund native agreed personal terms with the Biancocelesti a few weeks ago, but the two clubs continue to negotiate a deal.

Lazio Negotiating a Deal with Bayern Munich

According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Lazio are working on signing Asp Jensen on an initial loan with an option to buy for €6 million, which could turn into an obligation under certain conditions. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich are keen to maintain a significant sell-on fee.

The Sky Sport Italia correspondent warns the Aquile of competition from Udinese, who are offering €5.5 million to buy the midfielder outright this summer. However, Di Marzio reassured that the player has long given his preference to Lazio.

Fellow Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla also confirms the latest developments, revealing that Lazio’s latest offer to Bayern Munich was sent on Friday, and the club is currently awaiting a response. The transfer market expert adds that Asp Jensen has turned down all proposals since reaching an accord with the Italian capital side.
