Lazio are preparing to bring in free agent defender Leite after agreeing to part ways with Alessio Romagnoli. Both outlets report that the Serie A club has arranged medical examinations as the next step in the signing process, suggesting the deal is close to completion.
The timing comes after Romagnoli leaves Lazio following the transfer window’s earlier deadline in Italy. While the reporting focuses on Lazio’s replacement plan, the outlets do not add major differences on the core facts: Lazio move to strengthen the defensive options via the free-agent market, and Leite is identified as the incoming player undergoing medicals. The coverage frames Leite as a direct replacement following Romagnoli’s switch to Al-Saudi Pro League club Al-Sadd (as described in the Yahoo Sports summary) without detailing further contract or fee specifics in the provided text.
