Asp Jensen is watching Lazio, but Depor remains in the race

Real Club Deportivo de la Coruña

Deportivo has not ruled out the option of Jonathan Asp Jensen. Although the Lazio has taken the lead in the race for the young Danish midfielder, the Galician club remains alert to any move that could change the direction of the deal.

The Coruna-based club is putting together an ambitious transfer window ahead of its return to LaLiga. Keeping the core that earned promotion has been a priority, but important reinforcements have also arrived, such as Leo Román for the goalkeeping position. In addition, the sporting department is working on new signings for both the attack and the midfield.

Fernando Soriano believes the engine room still needs tweaks, and the plan involves bringing in a player with the ability to bring balance to the team, although more offensive profiles are also being considered. Asp Jensen, an attacking midfielder of 20 years old belonging to the Bayern of Múnich, comes after completing a loan spell in the top tier of Swiss football.

According to journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the Deportivo interest is firm and, in recent hours, developments have emerged that complicate the operation. Matteo Moretto says the player's priority is to sign for Lazio, a destination the player views very positively as he looks to continue his development.

The Italian side would already have made a move, and its offer to the Bayern includes 500,000 euros for the loan plus an obligation to buy close to the six million euros. Now the decision rests with the German club, which must assess whether it accepts those terms.

The Blanquiazul club believes that its sporting project and the appeal of playing in Spanish football can keep its options alive. In addition, the financial leeway it has shown during this window suggests that it could still try one last move if an opportunity arises to convince both the Bayern and the player.
