Lazio ‘to move for’ Dinamo Zagreb’s Marko Zebic if Romagnoli leaves | OneFootball

According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Lazio are weighing a move for Dinamo Zagreb teenager Marko Zebic, with any deal linked to Alessio Romagnoli's possible exit before the deadline.

The capital club have already signed two centre-backs, Danilho Doekhi and Josip Sutalo, this summer.

Yet Gennaro Gattuso could still be short, with Mario Gila sold to AC Milan and Patric and Samuel Gigot struggling with long-term injuries.

If Romagnoli does leave in the coming days, Gattuso would be left with only three first-team centre-backs, Doekhi, Sutalo and Oliver Provstgaard.

Romagnoli, 32, was expected to join Al-Sadd and even bade supporters farewell for the second time this year, but the move faltered amid unrest in the Middle East.

With Qatar no longer on the table, Atalanta are trying to seize the chance to reunite the defender with Maurizio Sarri, and need to offload a defender to clear space, which they should accomplish by selling young Honest Ahanor to Chelsea.

Further developments could follow in the coming hours.
