Lazio Making Progress for Bayern Munich Midfielder but Want to Avoid ‘Gila Clause’ | OneFootball

Lazio and Bayern Munich continue to negotiate a deal for young attacking midfielder Jonathan Asp Jensen.

Jonathan Asp Jensen Wanted at Lazio

The 20-year-old is a Danish player who has been developing his game at the Bavarian club since 2022. This season, he spent his campaign in Switzerland, playing on loan for Grasshoppers. The youngster contributed with nine goals and six assists in 40 appearances, piquing the interest of Lazio, who identified him as the right profile for their project.

Lazio Closing in on Asp Jensen Deal

According to Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla, the Biancocelesti are making important strides on this front, closing in on an agreement with Bayern Munich for Asp Jensen. The Italian capital side is expecting to pay a transfer fee between €3.5 and €4 million. However, the Bundesliga champions are seeking a comprehensive sell-on fee.

Lazio & Bayern Munich Haggling on Sell-on Fee

As Pedulla explains, Lazio are open to adding a sell-on clause, but it must be lower than 50%. As the source notes, the Aquile had agreed to a similar percentage when they bought Mario Gila from Real Madrid in 2022, a decision that has returned to haunt him four years later, as the Spaniard could be on his way out of the club, and Lazio could miss out on a significant profit due to this clause.

The report believes Lazio aren’t planning to go beyond a 30% sell-on fee in their negotiations with Bayern Munich. It remains to be seen if the two clubs will be able to reach an agreement for Asp Jensen’s transfer in the coming days.
