Lazio defender Luiz Felipe is now one step away from signing a new contract with the Biancocelesti.
La Gazzetta dello Sport have reported that the deal is now very close, even though the talks seemed to have stalled earlier and the player seemed close to leaving the club. Talks resumed in the last few days and an agreement seems close.
Lazio have formulated a proposal that the playerโs entourage like โ even though there can still be a minor difference. The playerโs request was (and still is) โฌ2.5 million per year and the Roman club at the beginning offered a figure between โฌ1.6 and โฌ1.8 million (depending on the bonuses). Now the offer of the Roman side has risen to โฌ2.1 million per year, as a fixed amount, to which some bonuses will be added. Thanks to that, the sum of โฌ2.5 million can be reached.
The player will be quick to say โyesโ to the deal and even though he can earn more elsewhere, he is really happy in Rome and wants to give back some gratitude to the club. Real Betis are the only club who came forward but it wasnโt an option that the player considered.
