Lazar Samardzic, a 23-year-old Serbian international, was linked to Lazio in the summer of 2023. At that time, the attacking midfielder, who is now at Atalanta, was considered not dynamic enough and too similar to Luis Alberto. He had a valuation of around 25 million, which remains essentially unchanged. It is considered that Atalanta may not want to let Samardzic leave easily, as he joined the club in July 2025 and has since made 1 goal and 2 assists in 12 Serie A appearances. The midfielder has 26 caps and one goal for Serbia. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €17.00m.
