Gudmundsson opens door to Lazio as negotiations progress for deal

Icelandic player Albert Gudmundsson has expressed his complete openness to a move to Lazio, having prioritised the Italian club over several other options available to him. This comes amid intense efforts to secure his future before the transfer window closes.

These developments come alongside direct negotiations between Lazio and Fiorentina, as the capital club seeks to reach a final agreement regarding the transfer of the player, who has become clearly open to experiencing a new challenge in Lazio's shirt.

The deal is being discussed as a paid loan with an option to buy, with the latest reports indicating that the proposed offer includes a loan for €1 million with a purchase option of €16 million, while negotiations between the two clubs continue regarding the final details.

Lazio hope to secure the deal quickly, benefiting from Gudmundsson's desire to move, while Fiorentina work on finding solutions for some of their attacking players. This could pave the way for the Icelandic forward's departure in the final hours of the transfer window.
