Rangers took Ianis Hagi on loan from Genk in January and they have an option to make his transfer permanent.
The 21-year-old has impressed for the Scottish Premiership side and Steven Gerrard has insisted there’s time to make a decision on Hagi’s future.
According to La Lazio Siamo Noi, Lazio were monitoring the Romanian, but Rangers decision to take him on temporary deal changed everything for them.
The Glasgow based club can take advantage of the redemption option and may then decide to sell him in the summer. However, everything depends on Hagi and his will.
Hagi was at Fiorentina between 2016 and 2018, but failed to have an impact, which is why he was sold to Romanian side Viitorul Constanța.
He could ‘dream of redemption in Italy’ and return to Serie A, which is a relatively superior league compared to the Scottish Premiership.
La Lazio Siamo Noi adds ‘Hagi is described as an ambitious boy, eager to improve himself, to measure himself on the most important stages’.
Lazio could use Champions League football and an opportunity to play alongside great players as leverage in convincing Hagi to join them.
Igli Tare, Lazio’s sporting director, likes Hagi and there’s been ‘some contact’ with his entourage. He’s valued at €5m, but his price tag could rise if he continues to improve from now until the end of Rangers’ season.
