Following Wolfsbourg's relegation to the second German division, the club is open to negotiations and prepared to allow Saël Kumbedi to leave, having previously paid nearly 9 million euros for the defender in January 2026. Lazio is closely monitoring the 21-year-old French right-back's situation. Other top clubs are also interested in the player, including Lazio's rival AS Roma, FC Porto, Feyenoord Rotterdam, and an unidentified club from Ligue 1. The France U21 international, who has 7 caps, is under contract until June 2029 and has a current market value of €12.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
