As the transfer window closes in Italy, Serie A clubs still have the opportunity to strengthen their squads by signing free agents. Lazio are reportedly considering a move for Turkish midfielder Yusuf Yazici, who is currently without a club after leaving Lille.
Lazio are looking to bolster their midfield options following the departure of Danilo Cataldi and the unsuccessful pursuit of Michael Folorunsho. Yazici, who has been on Lazio’s radar for several years, could finally make his way to the Italian capital. The club is in advanced talks to secure the services of the talented playmaker, who was once considered a potential replacement for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
Yazici, known for his versatility as an attacking midfielder, can also play as an inverted winger or striker. His addition would provide Lazio with much-needed depth and creativity in the midfield. However, the club faces competition from Olympiacos, who are also interested in signing the Turkish international.
Despite the competition, Lazio remain optimistic about their chances of landing Yazici. The talks have reportedly been positive, and the club hopes to finalize the deal soon. If successful, Yazici’s arrival would be a significant boost for manager Marco Baroni as Lazio aims to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
