Lazio are reported to be in advanced negotiations to strengthen their central defense. Multiple outlets say the club is pushing to sign Dinamo Zagreb defender Sergi Dominguez and free agent Danilho Doekhi. Discussions are described as progressing, suggesting Lazio are actively pursuing both players to address a defensive overhaul.
At the same time, both sources indicate that Lazio are unlikely to sign another reported target, Diogo Leite. The reporting frames this as a case where the club’s plans are focused on Dominguez and Doekhi rather than Leite, implying that negotiations or evaluation of alternative options have not moved in Lazio’s favor for the Portuguese defender.
The articles also note that Lazio feel compelled to refresh their squad, particularly in the central defense area, though they do not specify the exact players leaving or the full scope of the changes. Overall, the coverage centers on Lazio’s current pursuit of two central defenders and their apparent lack of momentum for a third.
