Lazio: What does the future hold for Fisayo Dele-Bashiru?
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru might not be set for a long stay at Lazio. The future of the Nigerian international will depend on his performances during preseason preparations.
The new Biancocelesti coach, Maurizio Sarri, wants to observe the player in training before making any decisions about his future, according to Corriere dello Sport. A real test awaits the attacking midfielder, who will need to impress quickly if he wants to be part of the Italian manager’s plans.
Under contract with Lazio until June 2028, Dele-Bashiru is coming off a solid season. The 24-year-old featured in 29 matches across all competitions, netting 5 goals and providing 3 assists. These are promising stats, but they might not be enough to guarantee him a spot in the squad. Under Sarri’s demanding leadership, he’ll have to prove he can deliver greater consistency and discipline on the pitch.
