Fenerbahce have submitted a €25 million offer to Lazio for midfielder Matteo Guendouzi, according to TUTTOmercatoWEB.
The Frenchman has already given his approval to a move to Istanbul, leaving the ball in Lazio’s court as to whether to sanction a sale midway through the season.

Guendouzi joined his current employers on a permanent deal from Olympique Marseille back in 2024 following an initial loan spell.
Since then, he has established himself as a key player, starting 51 of a possible 55 league matches.
However, despite his contract running until 2028, Guendouzi could be set for a move away with several clubs reportedly circling.
Fenerbahce are hoping to position themselves at the front of the queue as they aim to ramp up their squad to compete with city rivals Galatasaray for the Super Lig title.
Should Lazio choose to part ways with Guendouzi, I Biancocelesti could accelerate their interest in AC Milan’s Ruben Loftus-Cheek, having already opened talks with the Rossoneri.

After missing out on continental football last season, Lazio currently face an uphill task to qualify for Europe this term, sitting eighth in the Serie A table with 24 points, six behind sixth-place Como.
A busy winter window is expected at the Stadio Olimpico, with Lazio already close to finalising the sale of Valentin Castellanos to West Ham for around €30 million.
Having won just one of their last five league matches, Maurizio Sarri’s men play host to defending champions Napoli on Sunday afternoon in their first outing of 2026.
