Toma Bašić is almost certain to leave Lazio in the summer as a free agent. Italian media report that the possibility of a contract extension with Lazio is very unlikely. According to a report from Il Messaggero relayed by Tuttomercatoweb, after an initial agreement was reached for a new deal, the club suddenly withdrew from it. The same report indicates that the framework for a multi-year contract with a slightly lower salary was never formalized. Information from Formello indicates Lazio no longer intends to extend the 29-year-old midfielder's contract. Italian portals, including those specializing in transfers, state that Venezia is very interested in signing Bašić without a transfer fee.
