Lazio reject loan offers for Dele-Bashiru
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru is set to remain at Lazio after the club turned down several loan offers from Premier League teams. The Nigerian midfielder attracted interest following his AFCON 2025 campaign in Morocco, but Lazio want him to stay as cover due to injuries in their squad. Despite his desire to return to England, Dele-Bashiru will have to wait until the summer for a potential move. He has only played 40 minutes for Lazio since coming back from the tournament.
