Lazio Deny Official Fenerbahçe Bid for Guendouzi as Reports Detail €25–27 Million Offer
Conflicting reports leave the status of a proposed Fenerbahçe move unresolved for Lazio’s Matteo Guendouzi.
Overview
- Lazio sporting director Angelo Fabiani told DAZN the club has not received an official offer for Matteo Guendouzi and described the midfielder as a Lazio player, noting the club will evaluate any bids that arrive.
- Multiple outlets report Fenerbahçe have submitted a proposal around €25 million, with some adding €2 million in bonuses and claims of an agreed five-year contract worth about €4 million net per season.
- Guendouzi is widely reported to be open to the transfer, and Sky Sport Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio cited ongoing contacts between Fenerbahçe and the player’s entourage.
- Reports indicate Fenerbahçe representatives were expected in Rome for talks, though Lazio’s on-record position underscores that negotiations are not formalized.
- Lazio are finalizing Valentin Castellanos’s sale to West Ham for roughly €30 million, and links to midfield targets such as Lazar Samardžić, Giovanni Fabbian and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are described as contingent on any Guendouzi exit.
