Lazio striker Petar Ratkov became surplus to requirements in Rome as the club sought to offload the player to fund new signings. Despite having a contract until June 2030, the 22-year-old Serbian forward struggled to secure a starting position under manager Gennaro Gattuso, who indicated the player’s profile did not fit his tactical vision.

While Sevilla had previously been linked to the player, interest shifted toward RB Leipzig’s Conrad Harder, complicating Lazio’s transfer plans. However, Levante and Toulouse emerged as primary candidates for his signature.

Ratkov subsequently joined Levante UD following his departure from Lazio. The forward has been assigned the number 10 jersey in an effort to signal his ambitions and revitalize his career after facing challenges with playing time in Italy.
