Rafiu Durosinmi, the Nigerian striker born in 2003 and currently playing for Viktoria Plzen, had already caught the attention of Lazio even before their recent match. According to Corriere dello Sport, Lazio has been closely monitoring him for some time. Discussions regarding a potential transfer are ongoing, with club representatives actively engaging in negotiations. The club sees Durosinmi as a promising talent, and his performances continue to attract interest from top European teams.

On March 9, Il Messaggero reported that Lazio’s sporting director, Fabiani, attempted to offer Viktoria Plzen’s executives a transfer fee ranging from €8-10 million for Durosinmi. The Nigerian forward has been on Lazio’s radar for a while, making it likely that further discussions could take place in the return match. His dynamic playing style and consistent performances have made him a key target for the Italian club, which remains keen on securing his services.

As of March 8, Durosinmi had scored five goals in nine matches, showcasing his versatility, speed, and solid dribbling ability. His valuation is currently set at €10 million, and Fabiani reportedly met with one of his representatives to advance negotiations. Earlier in January 2024, the young striker was on the verge of joining Eintracht Frankfurt, but the move fell through due to a knee injury discovered during his medical tests. Having started his football journey in Nigeria before making his way to the Czech Republic, Durosinmi has established himself as a key player for Plzen. Lazio remains interested in him, and ongoing scouting efforts suggest that discussions regarding his future will continue
