Samardzic Attracts Lazio And Fiorentina Attention Ahead Of Transfer Window

Lazar Samardzic is rapidly emerging as one of the most discussed names ahead of the upcoming transfer window, attracting strong interest from several Serie A clubs. Among them, Lazio are carefully monitoring the situation of the Serbian midfielder, currently on the books of Atalanta.

Since his move from Udinese, Samardzic has struggled to find the continuity he was hoping for. Neither under Ivan Juric previously nor under Raffaele Palladino this season has the 2002 born midfielder managed to secure a central role. This lack of consistency could prompt him to consider a new chapter in his career, especially at a stage where regular minutes are crucial for development.

Lazio view Samardzic as an ideal profile to raise the technical level of their midfield. The Biancocelesti are looking for players capable of operating between the lines, attacking the box, and providing shooting solutions from distance. These are qualities Samardzic displayed regularly during his best spell in Udine, convincing Lazio’s management that he could add creativity and unpredictability to Maurizio Sarri’s system.

According to reports, Lazio are evaluating the possibility of a broader negotiation with Atalanta, potentially involving other players such as Marco Brescianini and Daniel Maldini. Such a package deal could help facilitate talks and align the interests of both clubs.

Despite limited playing time, Samardzic has still managed to leave his mark this season. Across nineteen appearances, he has recorded three goals and one assist, numbers that underline his offensive potential and his ability to influence matches even when used as a substitute. However, for a young and ambitious player, sporadic involvement risks slowing his growth and limiting his impact.

Lazio are not alone in the pursuit. Fiorentina have also expressed interest, as reported by Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Sport. The Viola are known for investing in young talent and could offer Samardzic a more prominent role within their project, adding competition that may drive up the stakes.

It is worth recalling that Samardzic was already close to leaving Bergamo last summer, when Olympique Marseille pushed strongly for his signature before negotiations collapsed late in the window. That episode highlighted how uncertain his future already was.

Now, the situation has resurfaced with renewed intensity. Samardzic is aware that the next move could define the trajectory of his career, and his priority will be choosing a project that guarantees space, trust, and continuity. The coming weeks promise to be decisive, as Lazio and their rivals battle to convince one of Serie A’s most intriguing midfield talents.
