Fabiani Spotted in Croatia as Lazio Open Direct Talks for Ex-Barcelona Defender

Lazio sporting director Angelo Fabiani has landed in Croatia to negotiate with Dinamo Zagreb for Sergi Dominguez.

Lazio Sold Alessio Romagnoli & Mario Gila

The Aquile have recently reached a €30 million agreement with AC Milan for Mario Gila’s transfer, while Alessio Romagnoli has long been given the green light to complete his transfer to Al-Sadd. Therefore, Lazio must sign at least one new centre-back this summer, and Dominguez has been at the top of the shortlist.

Lazio & Dinamo Zagreb Set for Sergi Dominguez Talks

According to Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla, Lazio and Dinamo Zagreb are about to engage in direct talks, with the Croatian champions requesting €15 million, including bonuses.

The Figures

This asking price is also confirmed by Il Messaggero, which notes that the Spaniard’s original club, Barcelona, will receive a 20% sell-on fee. The Roman newspaper also reveals that the Biancocelesti’s current offer is around €10 million, so the two parties still have a significant gap to bridge, prompting a face-to-face meeting.

Therefore, Fabiani travelled to Croatia on Thursday morning. He was spotted in the city of Split, as revealed by Calciopitolino.it.
