Lazio seeks €20‑25 million sale of midfielder Dele‑Bashiru as Venezia shows interest

Lazio has set a price of €15‑18 million for Nigerian midfielder Dele‑Bashiru, but the club’s director of football expects to fetch between €20 million and €25 million from any buyer. The club will only consider permanent offers and has ruled out loan deals with purchase options.

Dele‑Bashiru, who is currently representing Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations, remains on Lazio’s roster after being signed for under €6 million. Recent reports from Italian media and social‑media sources indicate that Venezia, the newly promoted Serie A side, is monitoring the player and may submit an offer.

Lazio hopes the transfer fee will bolster its finances ahead of a zero‑balance summer market, while Dele‑Bashiru looks to secure a move that offers regular playing time.
