Lazio ‘closing in’ on Diogo Leite as Alaba considered | OneFootball

The transfer window is shut but Lazio remain in the market, exploring free agents and assessing a potential move for David Alaba.

Corriere dello Sport reports that Diogo Leite is closing in on a switch to the club, with contacts made yesterday and the move progressing.

Rino Gattuso still wants defensive reinforcements and is reluctant to push Adam Marusic into a centre-back role.

The club are evaluating whether to sign former Real Madrid defender Alaba, who left at the end of last season. Despite financial difficulties, there is scope for one more addition and they want to use it in the free-agent market.

Jonathan Panzo is also under consideration. The Englishman is a free agent after a spell with Birmingham City last season. Lazio have already added Albert Gudmundsson this week, with Davide Frattesi also arriving.
