Lazio risk missing out on Dinamo Zagreb youngster Sergi Dominguez, as Tottenham Hotspur have joined the fray.
Lazio Keen to Sign Sergi Dominguez
The Biancocelesti are aiming to buy at least one new central defender this summer, and have identified the 21-year-old as one of their main targets. Last week, a report from La Gazzetta dello Sport went on to claim that Lazio had already secured an agreement in principle with Dinamo Zagreb for Dominguez.
But according to Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla, the Aquile still have a long way to go, as a Premier League side is trying to splash them out of the water.

As the transfer market expert explains, Spurs will turn their attention to Dominguez after securing the signature of Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi on a free transfer. The North Londoners are planning to sign a second centre-back, identifying the Spain U21 international as the right profile, and they have already opened club-to-club contacts

Pedulla also reveals that the transfer fee reported in the Italian press (€4-5 million) is not accurate at all, as the Croatian champions are requesting at least triple the mentioned figures, in addition to bonuses and a potential sign-on fee.
Dominguez is a product of Barcelona’s La Masia academy who left the club last summer due to limited first-team opportunities. This season, he contributed with two goals and four assists in his 41 appearances for Dinamo Zagreb, helping the club win the domestic double.
