Negotiations for Samardzic continue in small steps: however, there is still a distance between the Biancocelesti’s offer and Udinese’s request instead
Followed with interest in the past, never forgotten: Lazar Samardzic he is one of those profiles admired over the years by Lotito who, having lost Luis Alberto, sees in the Serbian an absolute alternative for his Lazio. Between the dream and the concreteness, however, there is a negotiation that promises to be anything but simple. No installments, no percentages on future resales and no loan with obligation: this is what emerged from theexploratory meeting held yesterday afternoon. Last year the president swore that he had found an agreement worth 15 million plus the Basic fee. But even if this agreement had actually been reached a year ago, it is no longer valid today.
In fact, the Bianconeri do not accept quid pro quos, not even Cancellieri and Akpa Akpro. Yesterday we had a face-to-face meeting with Nani in Formello to understand how willing Udinese are get a discount on 25 million required. To the utmost you can go down to 20 plus bonusesbut Lazio doesn’t go beyond 15, still higher than the 14 (plus 2) offered by Mourinho’s Fenerbache, which however also offers the Champions League showcase. There’s another one node linked to the father-agent’s commissions, who had blown up the deal with Inter last summer and the return of Napoli and Juve in January. There is no real competition for Lazio among the big teams in Serie A. But Udinese’s price continues to be high.
