According to a report from Il Messaggero, Lazio are evaluating 23-year-old Serbian goalkeeper Filip Stanković for the position, and the club also needs to resolve the situation with Christos Mandas. A January transfer is considered difficult to complete because Venezia's goalkeeper, Plizzari, is injured. Furthermore, Stanković has a contract with the club until 2029, and Venezia will not offer any discounts as Inter holds a 50% future resale clause. It is also considered unlikely that Lazio would reinvest 5-6 million euros for a backup to Provedel, unless they sign a player who could eventually replace the 31-year-old, whose contract expires in a year and a half. Stanković, who is yet to be capped by Serbia, joined Venezia in July 2025 and has made 12 appearances in Serie B this season. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €5.00m.
