Lazio ‘submit’ final bid for Leicester teenager Lorenz Hutchinson | OneFootball

Lazio are pushing to sign Leicester City prospect Lorenz Hutchinson and the chase could run to the wire. They have reportedly tabled a ‘final’ offer with less than 36 hours left of the window.

The proposal is said to be worth £1 million plus a sell-on clause, with Leicester thought to be satisfied, though some details still need ironing out. Il Messaggero has also named Hutchinson among the young forwards Lazio are tracking.

The 18-year-old has scored 27 goals in 38 appearances for Leicester’s U18s, and four in 18 games for the U21s. He has one goal from three England U19 caps, and his contract runs to June 2027, leaving his next step uncertain.

It is unclear whether Gennaro Gattuso would promote the striker straight into the first team or give him time with the Primavera. That decision could depend on how Lazio’s attacking options look when the window shuts.

Andrea Pinamonti is expected to lead the line. Petar Ratkov is on his way to Levante. Boulaye Dia’s future remains unresolved, with Stade Rennais said to be keen.
