Discussions are underway with Olympique de Marseille, while an agreement has been reached with the French midfielder.
ROME – While waiting to discover Rovella, a midfielder capable of injecting adrenaline and pace, Matteo Guendouzi has made a move, surpassing Samardzic and approaching Lazio.
Negotiations are open and ongoing with Olympique Marseille. The trail dates back to August 8th, the first time the name of the Frenchman with Moroccan origins, aged 24, was linked with a move to ‘Formello’.
A complete midfielder, tenacious in duels, but also full of dynamism, capable of partially compensating for the physicality lost with the departure of Milinkovic Savic.
The night in Lecce exposed previously unnoticed limitations. Lazio seemed measured and slow: they struggled with the pace, felt overwhelmed when the intensity increased.
Sarri had lost another pillar in front of the defense, Lucas Leiva. There they lack substance and muscle, especially if the physical conditions of many players at the start of the season are not optimal.
Now, Guendouzi, a seems to have become a priority, especially because Feyenoord is holding onto Wieffer, who is valued at least at 15 million.
The Frenchman would add a lot to the team and is expected to be a significant piece of the team for an ambitious squad eager to compete in the Champions League.
According to reports, Lazio is working with OM while an agreement with the player has already been reached/ In France, they say that he would leave for about 12 or 13 million would be enough to reach a deal for a player whose evaluation of around 20 million was initially suggested.
Prices and figures change in the final stages of the transfer market. Guendouzi is of international caliber: 82 appearances with Arsenal before totaling 102 with Marseille; he only played 7 minutes with Metz on the first day of Ligue 1 and was on the bench against Reims on Saturday night; as he is considered likely to leave.
