Deadline Day: The Latest on Lazio’s Transfer Activity

Follow all the latest breaking news concerning Lazio on Deadline Day, the finale of the Summer Transfer Window (August 30 – 18:00 EST, 24:00 CET).

LIVE COVERAGE WILL BEGIN AT 8:00 EST

Samuel Gigot is set to become a new Lazio player. The Marseille defender arrived at the Fiumicino Airport at 21:00 EST on August 29. All that is missing is the official announcement from the club following his medicals. He will sign a contract until 2026 with an option to renew for another year until 2027. The Biancocelesti will pay the Ligue 1 side €3 million.

Nicolò Casale has arrived at Isokinetik to undergo medicals ahead of a transfer to Bologna. He will join on a 1.5 million loan with an option to buy set at 6.5 million; the option to buy will become a loan with an obligation to buy if the Rossoblu qualify for any of the three European competitions.

Fiorentina has once again made contact with Napoli regarding the possibility of signing Michael Folorunsho. For now, the player’s priority remains Lazio. However, if the Biancocelesti are unable to find an agreement with the Partenopei, they will fail to sign the former Primavera midfielder and he could join the Viola. Both clubs have agreed on the formula of a loan with an obligation to buy – it is solely the figure that needs to be decided upon.

Napoli have made contact with Juventus to sign Arthur, which seems to be the player’s most likely destination. After being proposed to several clubs – including Lazio – he will join Antonio Conte’s squad on loan; the Biancocelesti were not convinced by the opportunity of signing the Brazilian.
