Multiple sources are reporting that Lazio are close to a deal for Atalanta’s Daniel Maldini, on loan with option to buy for €14m, but more players might be leaving.
The club is in turmoil after coach Maurizio Sarri and fans protested that they were not going “in the right direction” with their transfer strategy in the January window following the departure of Matteo Guendouzi and Taty Castellanos.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Sportitalia, DAZN and more, an agreement is down to the final details to secure Maldini from Atalanta.
It is expected to be a loan at a cost of €1m with option to buy at the end of the season for €13-14m.
That can become an obligation if certain conditions are met.
The son of Milan legend Paolo Maldini could be heading to the Capital for a medical as early as Monday.
He had also been linked with Juventus, but seems to believe he’ll get more playing time at the Stadio Olimpico.
However, that doesn’t mean Lazio aren’t also negotiating more potential exits.
Alessio Romagnoli is still reportedly pushing to join Al-Sadd, even after Lazio released a statement insisting he was not for sale.
Now Sportitalia transfer pundit Alfredo Pedullà claims that Tijjani Noslin is the subject of an offer from Torino, where he would reunite with his old coach Marco Baroni.
