Lazio have reignited their pursuit of Jacopo Fazzini, the talented midfielder currently playing for Empoli. After a period of stalled negotiations, recent developments suggest that the two clubs may be moving closer to an agreement.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports how the initial discussions saw Lazio’s offer rejected by Empoli, with the president of the Tuscan club, Fabrizio Corsi, deeming the proposal “unacceptable.” Lazio president Claudio Lotito defended his club’s bid, asserting that it was fair and reflective of Fazzini’s value. However, after a few days of silence, Lazio appears ready to re-engage with Empoli to push the deal forward.
Fazzini has made 11 appearances this season, contributing two goals, both scored in the Coppa Italia. He is also a key player for Italy’s Under-21 national team, having earned three caps. The midfielder has been with Empoli since his youth days and is seen as a promising talent with significant potential.
As negotiations continue, Lazio are keen to finalize a deal that would see Fazzini join their ranks. The proposed terms include a loan arrangement with an obligation to buy, but details still need to be ironed out. The urgency of the situation is heightened by interest from other clubs, including Napoli and Fiorentina, who are also monitoring Fazzini’s situation.
