Dele-Bashiru set for Lazio move
The report states that the total transfer fee is set at €6 million, with the initial loan costing Lazio €2 million, followed by a further €4 million to secure Dele-Bashiru's permanent transfer at the end of the season.
This arrangement allows Lazio to spread the cost of the operation over two seasons, while also being lower than the €7 million release clause in Dele-Bashiru's contract with Hatyaspor.

The final piece of the puzzle was securing personal terms with the player, who was born in Nigeria and raised in England.
After impressing during his three-year stint at Sheffield Wednesday, Dele-Bashiru made the move to Hatyaspor in the summer of 2023, where he has been a standout performer, scoring nine goals and providing six assists in 39 appearances in his debut season.
