Recent sources suggest that Turkish powerhouse Galatasaray has shown interest in Lazio’s forward, Daichi Kamada. However, Lazio is currently evaluating various possibilities regarding the 27-year-old player.

Lazio acquired Kamada as a free agent during the summer, seizing the opportunity when his previous contract with Eintracht Frankfurt expired. The negotiation process for personal terms proved intricate, leading Lazio to offer Kamada a one-year contract, with an option for both parties to extend the agreement for multiple years.

This contractual arrangement implies that Kamada could potentially become a free agent again in the upcoming summer, depending on the mutual decision between him and Lazio. Reports from Calciomercato.com suggest that Galatasaray’s interest is substantial, possibly prompting them to submit a bid in January.

Despite this, Lazio’s primary objective is to retain Kamada at least until the conclusion of the current season. It is reported that Lazio is planning a meeting with the player and his representatives in June to discuss the potential extension of the contract.
