Lazio ‘to add’ Brentford’s Mikkel Damsgaard to attacking shortlist | OneFootball

Il Messaggero reports that Lazio are considering Brentford’s Mikkel Damsgaard for their attacking shortlist, with Matteo Cancellieri increasingly linked with an exit before Tuesday’s deadline. Genoa have emerged as the most concrete destination, though it is not necessarily his preferred move. Most sources believe Lazio would seek a replacement if the right winger departs.

In recent hours, Albert Gudmundsson has surfaced as the favourite target, with negotiations between Lazio and Fiorentina said to be moving quickly. The 29-year-old Iceland international is reportedly open to joining Gennaro Gattuso’s squad.

The report also mentions Esmir Bajraktarevic, a 21-year-old Bosnian winger who has been at PSV Eindhoven since January 2025. He is one of several targets and has other suitors, with Eintracht Frankfurt particularly keen.

Damsgaard, 26, rose to prominence at Sampdoria, earning a €15 million switch to Brentford in the summer of 2022. He has made 137 appearances for the Bees, contributing eight goals and 19 assists.

Primarily an attacking midfielder, Damsgaard can also operate wide. He could compete with Mattia Zaccagni on the left, with Tijjani Noslin viewed as cover for Gustav Isaksen on the right. His arrival could help Gattuso shift from 4-3-3 to his preferred 4-2-3-1.
