BVB youngster in demand back home – Lazio eye up Filippo Mane | OneFootball

Filippo Mane did not experience the final moments of the match on the field, but during Borussia Dortmund's 0-2 defeat against Inter Milan at the conclusion of the Champions League group stage, he left a positive impression for almost 90 minutes and recommended himself for further appearances – certainly not diminishing the interest already present in his Italian homeland.

"Towards the end, he ran out of steam a bit. He had a cramp. He hasn't played with the second team for a while, but I think he did a great job," said coach Niko Kovac at the post-match press conference, initially giving the all-clear when asked about the reason for Mane's substitution, and simultaneously praised the 20-year-old, who started in the back three alongside Emre Can and Nico Schlotterbeck due to the absences of Niklas Süle and Waldemar Anton, as well as the short-notice departure of Aarón Anselmino.

Lazio Rome has several Bundesliga professionals on their radar

Mane, who had already made a brief appearance in the Bundesliga the previous weekend during the 3-0 victory at Union Berlin for the first time since matchday three, can now hope for more playing time and might get the chance to present himself as a full-fledged alternative for the new season.

Meanwhile, the Corriere della Sera reports that Lazio Rome is increasingly looking at the Bundesliga in their search for a central defender. Diogo Leite and Danilho Doekhi from Union Berlin have reportedly caught the interest of the Laziali, as well as Fabio Chiarodia from Borussia Mönchengladbach and Mane himself.

However, it is highly unlikely that BVB will let Mane, who is under contract until 2028, leave at this point in time.
