Official | Samuel Gigot joins Lazio from Marseille | OneFootball

Samuel Gigot (30) has completed a deadline-day move from Olympique de Marseille to SS Lazio, both clubs have announced. The Frenchman is loaned out with a reported €3.5m option to make his move permanent in the Italian capital. The French centre-back had been a key part of the Marseille squad for the past two seasons even deputising as the club captain while Valentin Rongier (29) was out injured with a broken kneecap. However, the arrival of a new manager Roberto De Zerbi has signalled a sea change at the southern club.

Despite this situation, Gigot had refused multiple offers from clubs across Europe over the last few weeks. However, as RMC Sport previously reported it appeared as if recent days the defender had relented on his previous ambition to retire at his dream club. Gigot joined Les Phocéens from Spartak Moscow two years ago. He featured 66 times for Marseille, logging five goals and two assists. He will wear the #2 jersey with Lazio.
