Lazio are reportedly back in for former targets Marko Grujic and Denis Zakaria, looking to replace Lucas Leiva at the Olimpico.

Il Corriere dello Sport claims Leander Dendoncker still tops the wish list at Lazio, a player they tried to bring two years ago.

Lazio and Atalanta were both linked with Dendoncker back then and the latter tried to sign the former Anderlecht star for €12m, but he ended up at Wolverhampton Wanderers for €15m.

Lazio are reportedly back in for former targets Marko Grujic and Denis Zakaria, looking to replace Lucas Leiva at the Olimpico.

Il Corriere dello Sport claims Leander Dendoncker still tops the wish list at Lazio, a player they tried to bring two years ago.

Lazio and Atalanta were both linked with Dendoncker back then and the latter tried to sign the former Anderlecht star for €12m, but he ended up at Wolverhampton Wanderers for €15m.

Now the report claims his value has been set at €25m and Lazio have lined up at Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder Zakaria and Liverpool loanee Grujic as alternatives.

The Reds denied Lazio the chance to sign Grujic on a permanent deal and sent the Serbian on loan to Hertha Berlin, but he will return this summer and the newspaper claims Lazio monitor his situation at Anfield.

The 24-year-old has played 26 times in the Bundesliga this term, contributing four goals and one assist.

Zakaria, on the other hand, has impressed for Gladbach, who are currently fifth in the German League.

The 23-year-old arrived from BSC Young Boys in July 2017 for €12m and has tripled his value after playing 96 times for Gladbach in his three years at the club.
