Lazio ‘to push for’ Bayern Munich youngster Jonathan Asp | OneFootball

Lazio are pursuing Bayern Munich prospect Jonathan Asp Jensen, with progress reported in Denmark and Italy.

Bold.dk reports Lazio have opened talks with the player's entourage and notes rival interest from English, French and German clubs. Il Messaggero adds that the approach is under way, while club insider Damiano Er Faina has echoed the rumour.

The 20-year-old grew up in Gauerslund in Denmark, coming through Vejle Boldklub and FC Midtjylland before joining Bayern in summer 2022.

He spent last season on loan at Grasshoppers, becoming a key figure with nine goals and six assists in 40 appearances across all competitions.

Right-footed, he is primarily an attacking midfielder but can drop deeper or play as an inverted left winger. If Gennaro Gattuso opts for a 4-2-3-1, he could operate behind the striker, a role Lazio currently lack.

Transfermarkt values him at four million euros, while Bayern's asking price remains to be seen. He is due back in Munich this summer with a contract to June 2028.
