Put on the transfer list, Mattéo Guendouzi could well join Lazio, vice-champion of Italy in title. Negotiations are progressing well.
It is in Italy that Mattéo Guendouzi, at 24, could continue his career. Put up for sale by the president of OM Pablo Longoria, the French international midfielder is getting closer to Lazio, who arrived 2nd in Serie A last spring and therefore qualified for the Champions League.
As Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio points out, negotiations are continuing between the Roman club and the entourage of the former Lorient and Arsenal player. The Marseille leaders, for their part, first claimed 20 million euros, but would agree to a transfer fee amounting to 15 million before bonuses.
The Biancocelesti, led by Maurizio Sarri, started Serie A (2-1 defeat in Lecce) with Danilo Cataldi in 6 and Luis Alberto and Daichi Kamada as torchbearers, the Japanese attacking midfielder having been hired during the off-season. Guendouzi, an essential piece under Jorge Sampaoli, then dismissed by Igor Tudor in the middle of the season, could energize this midfield.
