Even though he isn’t making a difference on the pitch (yesterday against Serbia he came on in the final minutes and limited himself to taking a few corners), the market is dealing with Lazar Samardzic. Fenerbahce has joined Lazio and Juventus in his footsteps. Messaggero Veneto reports the news explaining that in Turkey the first sponsor of the Juventus striker is Josè Mourinho: “the new coach of Fenerbahce certainly got an idea from Lucca as coach of Roma. Do you remember the goal scored by the Serbian talent born in 2002 in the 4-0 win over Lupa ai Rizzi in September ’22? That was just one of the plays that Mourinho took note of when seeing him in Italy, and which evidently convinced the coach to include him in the shopping list that the yellow-blue club will do for him. This is why yesterday Samardzic’s name began to circulate among Turkish journalists, aware of the competition, especially the Italian one.” Lazio have also returned to the attacker, but they must not hope for discounts: the Pozzos’ valuation of Lazar Samardzic is still between 25 and 30 million. Il Messaggero Veneto recalls that “There is no shortage of money in Istanbul, while Lotito could include some names appreciated by Udine, such as Juventus who remain in the front row due to the interest that their sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has always shown towards Samardzic”. Another hot summer is looming for the Serbian midfielder.
