Lazio negotiate for Fisayo
According to a report from Brilla FM, Lazio and Hatayspor have reached an agreement in principle for Fisayo's transfers; however, the deal is contingent on the new manager of the Rome-based club, Marco Baroni, signing off.
Per the report, Lazio will have to shell out around €8 million to complete the deal, a sizable amount for the Italian side given the financial landscape of the Serie A.
Should the move come to fruition, Fisayo will be following in the footsteps of former Super Eagles midfielder Ogenyi Onazi, who donned the Lazio shirt from 2011 until 2016, when he joined Trabzonspor.
