After him, Lazio will look to extend the contracts of Adam Marusic, Patric and Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro, as all three players’ contracts expire in 2022 like Luiz Felipe.

Akpa Akpro will also receive a significant salary increase as he currently earns amongst the lowest in the squad.

Felipe Caicedo and Thomas Strakosha are also in the mix and could reach new deals over the coming weeks.

Finally, Lazio are also talking to veterans Senad Lulic, Marco Parolo and Stefan Radu, three players whose contracts expire at the end of the season.
