Lazio moved to secure Portuguese defender Diogo Leite as a replacement for Alessio Romagnoli. Initial reports indicated the club was nearing a deal for the 27-year-old former Union Berlin player on a free transfer, with an expected contract worth approximately 1.7 million euros per season plus bonuses. Lazio subsequently completed the signing of Leite as a free agent. The finalized deal includes a three-season contract with an option for a fourth year, with expected earnings of 2 million euros per season. The transfer, which followed negotiations lasting approximately nine months, reunites Leite with former teammate Danilho Doekhi. Following Romagnoli’s departure to Al-Sadd, Lazio officially signed the center-back to bolster a defensive line managed by Gennaro Gattuso. The agreement consists of a two-year contract with an option for two additional years. This move follows interest from Leeds United earlier in the summer and aligns with the club’s strategy of utilizing free transfers to manage liquidity constraints. Leite is scheduled to be officially presented at a press conference on Wednesday, September 9.
