Lazio wish to sign one more midfielder before the end of the window and have zeroed in on Matteo Guendouzi and Lazar Samardzic. Maurizio Sarri prefers the former due to a matter of traits. However, it’s not easy to come to terms with Olympique Marseille, Il Messaggero informs.
The Frenchman has a €20M price tag and attracted a few suitors. He’s likely to depart this summer. He headed back to his home country in 2021, initially on loan from Arsenal and then permanently for an €11M fee. The 24-year-old has posted 10 goals and 18 assists in 102 appearances with his current club.
According to Calciomercato, Lazio have been in touch with the entourage of Guendouzi but have yet to open talks with OM. The player seems to transferring to Serie A. He began his career at Lorient before moving to the Premier League and spending one campaign at Hertha Berlin.
Samardzic came off the bench against Juventus after the transfer saga with Inter. The Udinese president told TuttoSport that they were ready to negotiate with new clubs after.
Our Take on Lazio Tracking Guendouzi and Samardzic
The former has more potential but, in terms of characteristics, since they already have a pair of high-end technical contributors in Daichi Kamada and Luis Alberto, plus Nicolò Rovella isn’t exactly a colossus, they could use a muscular and energetic option.
