Lazio has set the price for their young goalkeeper, Christos Mandas, who is at a career crossroads at 22 years old. Mandas exceeded expectations in his first season in Italian football after moving from Crete FC. He had a breakthrough when first-choice goalkeeper Ivan Provedel got injured in March, proving himself as a reliable option in goal. However, Provedel returned before the end of the season, leading to Mandas potentially being sold for a profit.
Lazio president Claudio Lotito is open to selling Mandas for a fee between €15M and €18M including bonuses. The club rejected an initial bid from Manchester City offering €2M for a loan deal with an obligation to buy for €10M. The Premier League champions are reportedly preparing a new offer for the young Greek goalkeeper.
Mandas made nine Serie A appearances last season, keeping five clean sheets and conceding six goals. His contract with Lazio runs until 2028, making him an asset the club could use to generate revenue. As Mandas considers his future, the possibility of a move to a new club hangs in the balance.
Despite his impressive performances last season, Lazio president Claudio Lotito is open to selling Mandas for a fee between €15M and €18M including bonuses.
The Premier League champions Manchester City initially offered €2M for a loan deal with an obligation to buy for €10M, but Lazio rejected it.
Now Manchester City is preparing a new offer for the young Greek goalkeeper.
However, Lotito’s decision has put Mandas’ future in doubt.
In his first season at Lazio, he proved himself as an asset after taking over from injured Provedel as the first choice goalkeeper.
Last season he played nine games in Serie A and kept five clean sheets while conceding six goals.
His contract with Lazio runs until 2028 and he still has time to decide on his next move.
