Lazio president Claudio Lotito is planning to launch a new offer for Udinese starlet Lazar Samardzic in the coming days.

Lazio have started seriously targeting Samardzic and in recent days sent in an offer of €15 million plus Matteo Cancellieri for the Serbian midfielder, which was rejected by Udinese. Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce are also interested in a move for the 22-year-old.
As reported by Corriere dello Sport (via La Lazio Siamo Noi), Lazio president Lotito is planning to send Udinese a new offer for Samardzic, needing to get closer to their €22.5 million requests. The Friulian side aren’t willing to accept any players in exchange.
Whilst Mourinho is keen to bring Samardzic to Fenerbahce, the 22-year-old would prefer to stay in Italy, giving the Biancocelesti an opening.
