Lazio ‘to accelerate’ move for Barcelona academy defender Sergi Dominguez | OneFootball

Lazio have stepped up their pursuit of Sergi Dominguez, with La Repubblica reporting the club are accelerating a move for the defender.

The 21-year-old came through La Masia, became a regular for Barcelona B between 2023 and 2025, and made a few senior appearances. He left his boyhood club last summer, joining Dinamo Zagreb for €1.2 million.

Dominguez made 41 appearances this season in all competitions, scoring two goals and supplying two assists. He helped the Croatian champions clinch a domestic double in his first campaign.

Lazio have already secured Alfonso Pedraza on a free transfer, and the Barcelona academy product could become their second signing.

The Biancocelesti have reportedly reached an agreement with Gennaro Gattuso to take charge, replacing Atalanta-bound Maurizio Sarri. Mario Gila and Alessio Romagnoli could both depart this summer, though their contracts run until June 2027.

Left-footed Oliver Provstgaard may succeed Romagnoli, while the right-footed Dominguez could be a natural replacement for compatriot Gila.
