Sacha Tavolieri reports that the last offer for Stepan Chaloupek was €15M plus €1M in bonuses. Despite attempts to find a solution, Lazio and the club could not reach an agreement on the structure of the deal.

Lazio are evaluating Slavia Praga's Stepan Chaloupek as a defensive option. According to Il Corriere dello Sport, after the arrival of Davide Frattesi, Lazio has a remaining budget of €3-4 million for their last two acquisitions. The club is targeting sustainable operations, preferring loans or free transfers.

Lazio is seeking defensive players and is considering Stepan Chaloupek, a 23-year-old Czech Republic centre-back from Slavia Prague, whose value is estimated at around 10 million euros. The club has put him on a list of potential signings that also features Hautekiet. Chaloupek, who began playing for his current club in July 2024, has a contract valid until 2030 and has made 6 appearances for the Czechia national team. He has also been associated with other clubs, such as Benfica and Inter.
