Andrea Pinamonti ‘pushing’ to join Lazio as loan with option discussed | OneFootball

Andrea Pinamonti is keen on a move to Lazio this summer, but any deal would need a tailored structure.

Il Messaggero reports that the Sassuolo striker is pushing to join, with Lazio exploring a loan with an option to buy that could become obligatory under set conditions.

Pinamonti’s Sassuolo contract runs to June 2027, so a temporary formula would not be possible without a tweak. The workaround would be to trigger a one-year extension to 2028, then finalise the loan.

Il Corriere dello Sport puts the valuation at €15 million, outlining a €3 million loan fee and a €12 million option.

Pinamonti shares agent Giuseppe Riso with Lorenzo Lucca, and both are on Angelo Fabiani’s shortlist. After missing out on Franjo Ivanovic and cooling interest in Santiago Gimenez, he has become a leading target.

Il Messaggero adds that Petar Ratkov could be sold to make room, with Dynamo Moscow offering €15 million. Boulaye Dia is expected to stay after convincing Gennaro Gattuso tactically, while Gabriele Artistico may depart if a suitable bid arrives or remain as a third option in attack.
