S.S. Lazio has been negotiating with Belgian club Standard Liège to acquire 21-year-old center-back Ibe Hautekiet. Initial discussions focused on a potential loan with an option to buy, as Lazio sought to manage its budget while Standard Liège demanded stronger financial guarantees.

Subsequent reports indicate that Standard Liège has set a fixed buyout clause of 5 million euros for the defender, whose contract runs until 2029. Lazio management is currently evaluating whether to trigger this clause to secure the player for their defensive line.
