Initially, various media outlets suggested that the 20-year-old might attract offers from French clubs. However, these prospects now appear less likely as Lazio's proposal gains traction.

Fabrizio Romano further clarifies that «no negotiations» have commenced with Olympique de Marseille specifically. Meanwhile, Lazio and Hellas Verona are working towards finalizing the transfer fee.
