According to the Courier, Guendouzi may leave the team in the winter. Lazio is looking for a new midfielder, with targets including Fabian, Fagioli and Ilic.
French international Guendouzi is Lazio’s main midfielder, but there have been recent reports that Sunderland is interested in Guendouzi and hopes to introduce him in the winter. Another Lazio midfielder, Rovella, underwent surgery and is not expected to return until next year. In addition, Nigeria midfielder Bashiru needs to participate in the African Cup and may return to the national team in mid-December to prepare for the game. Morocco midfielder Belayane is not trusted by Sarri and is also considering leaving the team. Lazio needs to bring in a new midfielder during the winter transfer window.
Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri has been requesting the introduction of a midfielder since June this year. His original most promising target was Turin's Ilic. Although Ilic's best position is not as a midfielder, he can play in this position if necessary. Lazio is willing to trade Noslin for Ilic. Turin coach Baroni admired Noslin when he was coaching Lazio last season.
The Courier also stated that Lazio coach Sarri has stated that if Guendouzi is sold in the winter, a replacement of the same level must be introduced. Guendouzi may leave the team for a transfer fee of 25 million to 30 million euros, and Lazio is considering spending half of the funds to buy Bologna midfielder Fabian. Lazio has been paying attention to the Italian international for more than a year.
In addition, Sarri also appreciates Faccioli very much, but Florence spent 16 million euros to sign Faccioli. In addition, Juventus also has 10% of the player's future transfer share. In order to get Faccioli, Lazio is willing to include goalkeeper Mandas in transfer negotiations, and Fiorentina is interested in this goalkeeper. Meanwhile, Lazio hopes to bring in Venetian goalkeeper Filip Stankovic to replace Mandas.
Lazio was banned from signings during this summer's transfer period due to financial irregularities, but the ban will be lifted in the winter transfer period. However, Lazio will adopt a break-even transfer strategy in the winter, that is, all signing funds will come from the income from selling players. In addition, Lazio also needs to reduce the total salary to less than 70% of the total expenses. These will affect Lazio's transfer.
