Lazio Awaits Duran's Situation with Al-Nassr

The Italian club Lazio has entered the race to sign the Colombian striker Jhon Jader Durán, who plays for Al-Nassr and is currently on loan to Zenit Saint Petersburg in Russia.

The Italian move comes as an attempt by Lazio to strengthen its offensive line, taking advantage of the player's desire to regain his form after an unsuccessful stint in the Russian league.

Dzyuba went through a difficult period with Zenit, as he failed to make the expected impact, managing to score only two goals in the nine matches he played with the team.

These figures have caused the Colombian striker's stocks to decline, and he was also absent from his national team's squad for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Italian journalist Alfredo Pedullà revealed that Lazio's management has started inquiring about the possibility of signing the player on loan in the upcoming period.

Galatasaray of Turkey was among the first clubs interested in Doran, but the club's chances in the deal diminished due to concerns related to the player's behavior off the field.

The high salary that Doran receives with Al-Nassr represents the biggest obstacle to completing his transfer to Lazio, despite the mutual desire.

In case the negotiations falter, the Italian club is considering other options to strengthen the attack, including signing Santiago Giménez.

Doran is preparing to return to Riyadh after his vacation ends to join the Al-Nassr camp, while awaiting the determination of his future during the transfer market.
