‘We don’t have to dismantle the team’ - Lazio sporting director confirms Juventus’ interest in Dele-Bashiru

The Italian giants have expressed interest in Dele-Bashiru, who has been exceptional for Lazio this season.

The midfielder moved to Lazio on a €2 million loan deal with an obligation to buy following an impressive season with Hatayspor.

His smooth transition to Italian football has only increased his attraction, as interest from all around Europe continues to grow.

According to La Repubblica via Goal, Juventus have made initial enquiries regarding the availability of Dele Bashiru this January.

The reports were confirmed by Lazio’s sporting director, Fabiani, who said, “We were asked for Rovella, Dele-Bashiru, Nuno Tavares, Castellanos. Many are attractive on the market. We don’t have to dismantle the team, but complete it.”

Juventus seems unfazed by Lazio's tough stance, and other Premier League teams are keeping tabs on Dele-Bashiru's development.

Since joining Lazio in the summer, Dele-Bashiru has had a significant influence. He has become one of the team's most notable players 

One of his impressive performances includes two goals and two assists in four Europa League games.

The Super Eagles star has scored two important goals this season, including one in a crucial 1-1 draw against Atalanta.
