Fenerbahce are on the verge of completing a €30 million transfer for Lazio midfielder Matteo Guendouzi after significantly increasing their offer in recent hours. The French international has given his full approval to the move and could travel for his medical examination as early as next week, with both clubs now finalising the remaining bureaucratic details.
Fenerbahce Close to Completing €30 Million Transfer Deal for Lazio’s Guendouzi
The Turkish giants have moved within touching distance of Lazio’s valuation after their improved proposal accelerated negotiations to a decisive climax. According to reports, the enhanced offer has satisfied the Biancocelesti’s demands, with both clubs now working to complete the final administrative requirements before the transfer becomes official.
Guendouzi has already given his total approval to the Istanbul move after being convinced by the central role promised to him at Fenerbahce. The French midfielder’s willingness to join the Turkish side has smoothed negotiations, with the player eager to begin a new chapter in the Super Lig following his time in Serie A.
Lazio appear ready to sanction the departure of their midfield engine, provided the final fee matches the €30 million figure including bonuses requested by president Claudio Lotito. The Roman club are prepared to lose another key player after the recent high-profile sale of Taty Castellanos to West Ham, forcing manager Maurizio Sarri to seek reinforcements in the transfer market.
The coming days will be used to finalise the structure of the payment terms between the two clubs. Should no late complications emerge, Guendouzi’s tenure in Serie A is set to come to an end, with the midfielder preparing for his new adventure in Turkish football under Fenerbahce’s project.
