Lazio and Roma have the opportunity to sign 18-year-old Senegalese defender Fallou Diouf who should soon become a free agent.
The teenager started his career at Be Foot before moving to Generation Foot in 2023. However, he and his entourage have been embroiled in a legal battle with his current club over the duration of the contract.
While the player’s representatives claim that the deal should expire in 2025, the club insists that this deadline is in 2028. This dispute sabotaged the young man’s transfer to Atalanta last year.
Luckily for Diouf, the National Dispute Resolution Chamber ruled in his favor, confirming that the player’s contract is set to expire in the coming days, which will allow him to sign for a new club as a free agent.
While it remains to be seen if Atalanta will rekindle their interest in the teenager, we can confirm that he has been offered to Lazio and Roma. Diouf is considered a very interesting profile, so it remains to be seen if one of the Italian capital clubs will decide to seal the deal.
