Lazio is very insistent on acquiring Arseniy Batagov from Trabzonspor. Despite Lazio's strong interest, the Italian media suggests that the transfer is unlikely to happen due to the transfer fee. Trabzonspor has received offers exceeding 10 million EUR, but the club is firm on not selling the player for less than 15 million EUR.

According to the Turkish newspaper Takagazete, Lazio is interested in signing Arseniy Batagov, a 23-year-old Ukrainian defender currently playing for Trabzonspor. Lazio has already made an offer of 10 million euros. However, Trabzonspor is not inclined to sell as their asking price is around 20 million euros. Trabzonspor values Batagov's development and hopes to increase his market value for a future sale. Batagov has made 23 appearances this season for Trabzonspor, scoring two goals. Meanwhile, Galatasaray has also entered the race to sign the young defender.
