Jacopo Sardo, a midfielder born in 2005 and a member of Lazio's Primavera squad, is set to join Saarbrucken, a third-tier team affiliated with Bayer Leverkusen. The Bundesliga club will supervise his progress. Sardo has signed a 4-year contract and completed his medical examinations yesterday. Although the extension of the registration rules for 'Serie youth' would have allowed him to stay at Lazio for another year, he opted for an overseas move. He had attracted interest from Eintracht Frankfurt and Lille as well. Milan Futuro submitted a 400,000 euro bid, which was turned down by Lotito. Lazio could potentially forfeit the training compensation (approximately 200,000 euros) if a written contract proposal from the forming club is not made within 60 days of expiration. Sardo netted 8 goals in 32 matches last season with Lazio's Primavera team.
