Serie A club Lazio is preparing a new contract for Nigerian midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, according to reports from the Daily Post. The move follows the opening of discussions between the Italian club and the player's representatives regarding a potential extension of his current deal.
The initiative, first reported by the Italian publication Corriere dello Sport, aims to formalize Dele-Bashiru's future at the club. The 25-year-old is currently under contract with Lazio until 2028, but the new agreement is expected to include a salary increase to reflect his growing importance to the squad.
Lazio is keen to resolve the contractual situation before the winter transfer window opens. Securing the midfielder's commitment early is viewed as a priority to maintain stability within the team during the upcoming months.
Dele-Bashiru joined Lazio in July 2025 after transferring from Turkish club Hatayspor. Since his arrival, the Super Eagles midfielder has continued to establish himself as a key figure in the Italian club's midfield.
