Lazio are showing interest in PSV Eindhoven winger Dennis Man, as they look to the unsettled Matteo Cancellieri.
Lazio Hellbent on Offloading Matteo Cancellieri
The Biancocelesti management is hoping to cash in on the Italian player before his contract expires at the end of the season. The 24-year-old has been encouraged to join Genoa, a destination that hasn’t entirely convinced him. But with some rumours claiming the player could be dropped from the Serie A squad list, he could change his mind on the final day of the summer transfer window.
The Potential Replacements
Cancellieri’s departure could make room for a new arrival, as Angelo Fabiani and Co. continue to examine their options on the market. In recent hours, the names of Albert Gudmundsson, Isak Bjerkebo and Medjed have all been circulating. But on Monday afternoon, a new candidate surfaced on the scene.
Lazio Interested in Dennis Man
According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Lazio have contacted PSV to enquire about Dennis Man’s availability. The Italian capital side is eyeing a loan with an option to buy, similar to the Davide Frattesi and Josip Sutalo operations, as they cannot afford to buy the player outright.
Alfredo Pedulla relays a report from famous Dutch portal De Telegraaf, confirming that the Romanian international is open to making a return to Italian football one year after his departure from Parma.
Denis Man Career Path, Playing Role & PSV Stats
Man began his career in Romania, developing his game at several academies before being poached by Steaua Bucharest in 2016. After making a name for himself at one of the biggest clubs in the country, Parma spent €12 million to secure his services in 2021.
The winger endured several highs and lows during his four years at the Ennio Tardini, but a solid 2024/25 campaign earned him a move to PSV. Last season, he contributed with seven goals and as many assists as the Eindhoven-based giants went on to retain the domestic league title.
Man is a left-footed player who prefers to play as an inverted right winger, so he would be a natural replacement for Cancellieri, who was his teammate at Parma during the 2024/25 season.
