"Lazio is keeping an eye on Fotis Ioannidis, Sporting's striker, for the next summer transfer window," can be read on the social network 'X' (formerly Twitter). The potential move will only happen if the Serie A club manages to complete the sale of Taty Castellanos.

The Argentine striker is being considered as a possible reinforcement for Brazil's Flamengo, a scenario that would free up both financial and sporting space in the Roman squad. If the departure of the South American forward is confirmed, the Italian side should then move forward with negotiations with the Alvalade club.

Despite the interest, the board, led by Frederico Varandas, has no intention of selling the striker. The 25-year-old forward is considered a key player in Rui Borges' squad, so any approach will be carefully evaluated.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Fotis Ioannidis valued at 20 million euros – has played 18 matches. The 25-year-old Greek international striker has played 746 minutes, during which he has already scored six goals and provided three assists for the green and white team.
