Lazio is actively pursuing new central defenders to strengthen its squad after selling Alessio Romagnoli and Mario Gila. The club is in advanced negotiations for Dinamo Zagreb's Sergi Dominguez and free agent Danilho Doekhi. Fabrizio Romano reports advanced talks for Doekhi, whose contract with Union Berlin expired, attracting interest from several clubs including Besiktas and Aston Villa.

Sportitalia indicates Lazio is also pushing hard for Sergi Dominguez, a former Barcelona player. Personal terms are agreed, but Dinamo Zagreb's €12m asking price is a hurdle. Lazio's initial offer of a €3.5m loan with an €8m option to buy was rejected. The club hopes to submit a new, improved bid for the 21-year-old. While Lazio inquired about free agent Diogo Leite, they are not currently pursuing further talks.
