Lazio is getting closer to signing Boulaye Dia. In the last two days, there has been a significant leap towards closing the deal. Fabiani, who had been waiting for the 27-year-old Senegalese for a month, seemed reluctant to let go despite his patience running out. In a recent meeting, Fabiani expressed his frustration before sealing a preliminary agreement with a handshake. Interest in Dia had already arisen in May, when the sporting director had planned a double coup which also included Tchaouna as Felipe Anderson’s replacement.
Agreement reached after a long courtship
After taking his time in the hope of receiving offers from the Premier League, Boulaye Dia has finally given the green light to a move to Lazio. His entourage has negotiated a four-year contract, while the Rome club is ready to conclude the deal with Salernitana for a figure between 10 and 12 million euros. During the talks, Fabiani reassured Dia about his concerns, but is determined to take precautions to manage his temper.
Direct interventions by President Lotito
In the context of recent developments, yesterday Lotito, the president of Lazio, was seen in Formello together with the sporting director. Lotito has intensified contacts with Setti, president of Verona, for the second time in two weeks. Despite Noslin being a target to strengthen the attack, the club remains firm in rejecting the €15 million offered by Girona for Castellanos. Lazio values the Argentine player at least 20 million, and otherwise, Castellanos will remain in the team.
Market strategies to strengthen the team
Finally, coach Baroni continues to show interest in Verona’s Dutch talent, considered a wildcard player capable of covering various positions including attacking midfielder and winger. Lazio therefore seems determined to strengthen its staff with versatile and quality players, thus satisfying the coach’s tactical needs.
