Lazio Interested In Signing Vélez's Gómez

Injuries to Mario Gila and Samuel Gigot during the match against Inter, along with Romagnoli's earlier absence, have sparked discussions within Lazio's camp about the potential need for an additional central defender to bolster Marco Baroni's squad. According to reports from Argentina, Lazio may have set their sights on a promising young talent from Vélez Sarsfield: 20-year-old Valentín Gómez.

The report, published by the reputable Tyc Sports portal, highlights that Gómez's performances over the past two years have drawn the attention of top Argentine clubs, including Boca Juniors and River Plate. However, Lazio appear to be leading the race, leveraging their financial strength to gain a significant advantage over the competition.

Furthermore, it is noted that Gómez is reportedly open to a move to Lazio, viewing it as an opportunity to catch the eye of Lionel Scaloni, having already represented Argentina's U-20 national team. With his contract running until December 2026 and an estimated valuation of €10 million, the transfer would be financially feasible for Lazio. Additionally, Gómez’s status as an U-22 player means his signing would not require a designated spot on the squad list, further enhancing his appeal to the Biancoceleste.
