The Dele-Bashiru Lazio exit decision comes as the club reportedly values the 25-year-old midfielder between €15 million and €18 million, according to Italian publication Tuttomercato. The figure sets the tone for negotiations expected in the coming months.

Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, who joined Lazio from Turkish Super Lig side Hatayspor in 2024, has struggled to fully cement a consistent starting role despite showing flashes of promise in midfield.

The Nigeria international has made 17 league appearances this season for the Biancocelesti, contributing to squad depth while adapting to the tactical demands of Serie A football.

Head coach Maurizio Sarri has reportedly sanctioned the midfielder’s departure as part of wider squad restructuring plans ahead of the summer transfer market, marking a significant turning point in the player’s short stint in Rome.

Dele-Bashiru was previously linked with an exit during the January transfer window, but the move failed to materialise following squad changes and player exits at the club.

The current stance now places the midfielder firmly on the market, with Lazio expected to listen to serious offers that meet their valuation.

The Dele-Bashiru Lazio exit signals a strategic shift as the club looks to balance its squad while generating funds for reinforcements ahead of the new season.
