According to multiple reports, Lazio are in formal negotiations with Atalanta over the signing of Lazar Samardzic. The midfielder has been a target for some time, and talks are said to be intensifying as the window progresses. The player remains under contract, but movement looks increasingly likely the longer talks go on. Lazio are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Marseille and Fiorentina are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. Lazio look balanced this season - 1.06 goals scored and 0.71 goals conceded per game. Lazar Samardzic would be expected to bring control and consistency to help push them to another level. Neither Atalanta nor Lazio have been linked with any additional targets at this stage.
