Lazio Pursues Sergi Dominguez from Dinamo Zagreb as Mario Gila Departs for Milan
Following the confirmed transfer of Mario Gila to Milan, Lazio is actively seeking a replacement and has identified Sergi Dominguez as their primary target. Sporting director Angelo Fabiani has reportedly traveled to Croatia to negotiate with Dinamo Zagreb for the young defender.
Dinamo Zagreb has valued Dominguez at €12 million, a sum Lazio aims to meet with the potential addition of performance-based bonuses. Fabiani's personal involvement highlights Lazio's strong interest in securing the center-back, who has been identified as a key reinforcement for the team by new head coach Gennaro Gattuso.
The 21-year-old Dominguez is a product of Barcelona's renowned La Masia academy and moved to Dinamo Zagreb last summer. He quickly made an impact in Croatia, playing a crucial role in the team's domestic double-winning season. His impressive performances have attracted attention from various European clubs. Notably, Barcelona is expected to benefit from a sell-on clause associated with his previous transfer.
For Lazio, Dominguez represents a younger, long-term prospect to fill the void left by his fellow Spaniard, Gila. If Fabiani can successfully negotiate the transfer fee, Lazio will have swiftly reinvested funds from one Spanish center-back's departure into acquiring another.
