A Rising Star in Serie A
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru’s journey from Manchester City’s academy to Serie A stardom has been nothing short of extraordinary. Since joining Lazio in the summer, the 23-year-old Super Eagles midfielder has taken the Italian league by storm, turning heads with his dynamic performances and clutch contributions.

Dele-Bashiru has already notched up two goals and two assists in just four Europa League appearances. His Serie A exploits include two vital goals, one of which came in a dramatic 1-1 draw against Atalanta. This form has placed him firmly on the radar of Serie A giants Juventus, who are reportedly keen to secure his services.

Juventus Leading the Chase
According to La Repubblica via Goal, Juventus has made preliminary inquiries about Dele-Bashiru. While Lazio’s sporting director, Angelo Fabiani, has emphasized the club’s intent to retain its key players, the interest from the Bianconeri and unnamed Premier League clubs has only intensified speculation about the midfielder’s future.

Fabiani recently commented on the transfer buzz, saying:
“We were asked for Rovella, Dele-Bashiru, Nuno Tavares, Castellanos. Many are attractive on the market. We don’t have to dismantle the team, but complete it.”

From England to Italy: Dele-Bashiru’s Journey
Born in Hamburg, Dele-Bashiru spent over a decade in Manchester City’s academy before launching his professional career at Sheffield Wednesday. A breakout season in Turkey with Hatayspor, where he scored eight goals to help the club avoid relegation, earned him a move to Lazio on a €2 million loan deal with an obligation to buy.

International Impact
Dele-Bashiru has also made his mark on the international stage, scoring twice in five appearances for the Super Eagles. His crucial goal in Nigeria’s World Cup qualifier against South Africa underscores his growing importance to the national team.

What’s Next?
While Lazio remains firm on holding onto their rising star, Juventus appears undeterred in their pursuit. A potential return to England also looms as a possibility, offering the Hamburg-born midfielder a chance to reunite with familiar territory.

As interest from Europe’s elite clubs continues to grow, the future looks incredibly bright for Fisayo Dele-Bashiru.
