Lazio secures future: list of departing players and those to renew

Lazio plans to sell Cataldi, Lazzari and Pellegrini in January or summer, while opening renewal talks with Isaksen, Dele-Bashiru and Rovella.

Lazio is reorganising its squad ahead of a potential transfer embargo, prioritising contract renewals and strategic departures. Three players expiring in 2027—Cataldi, Lazzari and Pellegrini—are set to leave either in January or on free transfers in summer.

Cataldi could join Bologna under Palladino; Lazzari, 33, was wanted by Sassuolo last summer but the market was frozen; Pellegrini, earning €2.4m annually, is surplus to requirements after Pedraza's arrival. Cancellieri remains uncertain pending manager Gattuso's decision.

The club has begun renewal negotiations with three 2028 expiries: Danish winger Isaksen, Nigerian midfielder Dele-Bashiru and midfielder Rovella, who is recovering from a difficult season and recent injury. Floriani has already signed a new deal through 2031, setting the template for the others.

Diogo Leite's 2028 contract includes a two-year option in Lazio's favour, while Marusic holds an option through 2029 triggered by ten appearances in 2027–28.
