Fisayo Dele Bashiru's performances for Lazio has placed him on the radar of Juventus.

Lazio could be set to lose Super Eagles ace Fisayo Dele Bashiru only months after he joined, as he is garnering interest from bigger Serie A sides. 

The 23-year-old midfielder joined the Rome-based club last summer from Hatayspor. While it was a season-long loan move, Lazio secured an obligation to buy. 

Dele has settled nicely in Italy. He has six goal contributions in 16 matches and has been useful to the club across multiple positions. Hence, he is attracting interest. 

The details 

According to reports from Italy, Juventus are keen on Bashiru, among other suitors looking to snap up the Nigerian talent. 

Lazio’s sporting director, Fabiani Angelo Fabiani, confirmed the interest in the Manchester City academy graduate; however, he explained that the club's stance was to keep their squad intact.

“We were asked for Rovella, Dele-Bashiru, Nuno Tavares, Castellanos. Many are attractive on the market. We don’t have to dismantle the team, but complete it," he said, per GOAL.

Meanwhile, an Italian coach has tipped Dele Bashiru to play more games at left wing after the former Hatayspor man shone in that position in the 1-1 draw against Cesc Fabregas’s Como.
