Lazio Approaching Awaited Transfer Market Breakthrough

Lazio might have finally found a new home for Vedat Muriqi, whose departure would unlock their transfer market. The out-of-favor striker is nearing a move to Mallorca on loan with option to buy, Tuttomercatoweb reports.

Once they will have finalized such sale, the Biancocelesti will focus on bolstering the defense. They remain on the prowl for Nicolò Casale. However, it is not easy to come to terms with Verona on the fee and the formula of the deal.

River Plate’s Robert Rojas represents a viable alternative to the Italian center-back, the publication adds. His agents offered him to a few European clubs as he wants to move across the pond. He has logged 71 appearances, 8 goals and 2 assists with Los Millonarios since joining from Club Guaranì in 2019.

His teammate Fabricio Angileri is an option as well, as Lazio plan to add a pure left-back in the final days of the transfer market window. The Argentian club froze him out for not extending his expiring contract. The Biancocelesti also asked Napoli for Faouzi Ghoulam on a season-long loan spell.

Director Igli Tare wishes to bring in a backup striker and cast a wide net. He is eyeing Verona for this role too since he is targeting Nikola Kalinic and Kevin Lasagna. He inquired about Maxi Gomez, who is likely to be on his way out from Valencia, and Andrea Pinamonti. Moreover, the Biancocelesti have been proposed Kaio Jorge, whom Juventus wants to loan out. They briefly pursued Aleksey Miranchuk, but Atalanta shut the door.
