S.S. Lazio has faced Bayern Munich's rejection of its loan bid for Jensen, a development that complicates the biancocelesti's transfer strategy. The German club closed the door on a temporary move, leaving Lazio's hierarchy to weigh alternative options.
Why did Bayern say no?
Bayern stated that it does not intend to loan Jensen because he is part of its long‑term project. The decision comes as the German side solidifies its squad for the upcoming season and does not want to lose a young striker who has shown progress in the Bundesliga.
What are Lazio's alternatives?
According to sources close to the club, Udinese and Deportivo are ready to sign Jensen on a permanent deal. Both clubs have expressed immediate interest, suggesting a full transfer could materialise within the next weeks. Meanwhile, Lazio's management is also monitoring the Croatian market, where Dinamo Zagreb has listed Domínguez for sale.
How does this affect the current campaign?
Lazio currently sits 9th in Serie A with 54 points, 14 wins, 12 draws and 12 losses, recent form WLLWD. They have scored 41 goals and conceded 40, a +1 goal difference. The club trails leaders Inter by 33 points, making every transfer move vital to improve their standing.
What could this mean for the future?
If Jensen departs, Lazio will need a replacement capable of bolstering an attack already under pressure for a slim goal margin. A potential signing of Domínguez could provide a tactical fix, but it will depend on the club's ability to close the deal before the transfer window shuts.
What’s the next step?
President Claudio Lotito has said the board is working on multiple fronts and does not rule out further talks with European clubs. The coming week will likely see meetings between Jensen’s agents and representatives from Udinese and Deportivo, while Lazio continues to scout the Croatian market for additional reinforcements.
