S.S. Lazio is on the verge of completing the signing of Sergi Domínguez, central defender of Dinamo Zagreb, for a fee close to €12 million. The deal, launched right after Mario Gila’s move to Milan, should be sealed in the coming days, bolstering a back line that has conceded 40 goals in the league.

Why is Domínguez the main target?

The biancocelesti need a solid centre‑back after Gila’s departure. Domínguez, 23, has shown tactical discipline and aerial strength in Croatia, qualities head coach Igor Tudor has highlighted as a top priority. Lazio is ready to add bonuses to the €12 million base price to meet Dinamo’s valuation, signalling that defensive reinforcement is a must.

What’s happening with Jensen?

While the defence moves forward, the attack remains stalled. Bayern Munich rejected the first offer for Asp Jensen, a 2006‑born Danish striker, preferring a permanent sale or a loan with an obligatory purchase—an option Lazio cannot currently guarantee. Udinese and Deportivo La Coruña have also shown interest, but no deal is in place yet.

How does this affect the league campaign?

Sitting 9th in Serie A with 54 points, 14 wins, 12 draws and 12 losses and a recent form of WLLWD, Lazio trails the leaders Inter by 33 points. With 41 goals scored and 40 conceded (+1 goal difference), the team sits on a knife‑edge: a defensive signing could tighten the back line and help the side stop leaking goals.

What to expect in the coming days?

The club has said it wants to finish the “blitz” on Domínguez by week’s end. If the agreement is sealed, the Croatian defender could wear the biancoceleste shirt as early as September, ready to add stability to a shaky defence. Meanwhile, the Jensen saga stays on hold, with Bayern leaning toward a direct sale.

July’s market is shaping up to be decisive for Lazio: a defensive acquisition and the handling of a potential young striker could set the tone for the second half of the season.
