Lazio Confirm Matias Vecino Transfer to Celta Vigo

Overview

• The club announced the veteran’s sale after the Serie A window closed, a move allowed because outbound transfers can still be completed.
• The 34-year-old departs with only months left on his contract, having joined in 2022 and recorded 128 appearances and 13 goals for Lazio.
• Multiple reports indicate the move could block Reda Belahyane’s agreed loan to Hellas Verona, with Maurizio Sarri wary of losing two central midfielders without a replacement.
• LaLazioSiamoNoi reported that Lazio turned down Bournemouth’s offer for Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, a loan proposal with an €18 million option to buy.
• Despite signings such as Kenneth Taylor and teenager Adrian Przbyborek, Sarri has said the team still lacks a proper replacement for Matteo Guendouzi, who left for Fenerbahce in early January.
