Samuel Gigot leaving Lazio?
Tuttomercato has reported that Samuel Gigot's future at Lazio appears uncertain following his recent difficulties. It is believed that Gigot is deemed surplus to requirements at Lazio, just a year after his arrival. Although there were limited transfer negotiations over the summer, they all reportedly fell through due to concerns about his physical condition, particularly an ankle problem. Gigot is expected to undergo surgery, likely in France. Lazio is hopeful that he will recover in time to be sold during the winter transfer window. Gigot's salary is 1.8 million euros plus bonuses, and he is under contract until 2027. The club is keen to recoup the 4 million euros spent on him or at least a significant portion of it. Additionally, they aim to offload him to reduce wage costs and comply with financial regulations.
