Mattéo Guendouzi’s future at Lazio appears to be more at stake after tensions with coach Igor Tudor.
Arriving last summer, the France international had begun to find a place under Maurizio Sarri, but when the latter left suddenly in March Tudor brought back the team, renewing an already strained relationship between player and coach dating back to their time together in Marseille. Hopes for a reconciliation were quickly dashed despite an attempt to start again on new foundations.
Tension came again during a game against Juventus where Mattéo Guendouzi, who came on during the game, helped out, pointing suddenly at his coach. This friction increased during subsequent training sessions, raising doubts about the viability of the collaboration. The daily Corriere dello Sport reports that Lazio, who have an almost mandatory purchase option for Mattéo Guendouzi, are worried about this controversial move.

The purchase option will be activated automatically if the Italian club finishes in the top 10 of Serie A, which earned Olympique Marseille €13 million, plus possible bonuses of € 5 million. Italy’s management, led by president Claudio Lotito, remain open to continuing with the 25-year-old midfielder, but will not rule out a move. his will, especially if disagreements with Igor Tudor continue.
Mattéo Guendouzi’s recent performance, regarded as declining by the Italian media, adds to the uncertainty, with suggestions that a €30 million offer could force Lazio to sell during the next transfer window . As the season draws to a close, it is more than likely that, without a significant improvement in the relationship or sporting situation, the France international could look to leave the Italian capital this summer, the the end of a collaboration that never found its rhythm.
