Romagnoli to Unlock Lazio Market – Who Will Be the First Summer Signing?
· Yahoo Sports
Alessio Romagnoli is expected to be the first player Lazio sell this summer, paving the way for a new arrival.
Lazio Working on Sales
The Biancocelesti have been restricted to a net-zero transfer campaign, so they can only sign new players through funds freshly generated from sales and salary savings. Therefore, Claudio Lotito and Angelo Fabiani begin the summer by offloading players to make room for new arrivals.

The club has already parted ways with Pedro, Elseid Hysaj, and Toma Basic, who left for free, but has yet to cash in on a player.
Alessio Romagnoli & Ivan Provedel to Leave Lazio in The Coming Days
According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Romagnoli will be the first player to be sold by Lazio. The Italian capital side has already accepted Al-Sadd’s €3 million offer. The defender’s departure will also save another €5 million in gross salary. The former AC Milan captain will be followed by Ivan Provedel, who is expected to finalize his transfer to Inter Milan for similar figures.
Lazio Closing in on Jonathan Asp Jensen
As the Roman newspaper explains, these two exits should prompt the first signings at Formello. The club is currently linked with several young players (under the age of 23), including Sergi Dominguez, Diego Coppola, and Luka Stojkovic.
Nevertheless, the source believes that 20-year-old Danish attacking midfielder Jonathan Asp Jensen will be the first signing, although Alfonso Pedraza will be announced first, having signed a pre-contract agreement with the Aquile in January while his contract with Villarreal was set to expire.
Lazio Negotiating with Bayern Munich for Asp Jensen
Il Messaggero also confirms that the negotiations for Asp Jensen are the most advanced. Lazio have already reached an accord with the player’s entourage (the same Gustav Isaksen and Oliver Provstgaard) on personal terms, and are currently working on a deal with Bayern Munich. The two clubs agreed on a €4 million transfer, but the percentage of the sell-on fee remains the sticking point.
