Bournemouth likely to beat Lazio in race for Ferencvaros’ Alex Toth

Bournemouth have moved into pole position to sign Ferencvaros talent Alex Toth, having overtaken Lazio in the race for the midfielder over the last few hours.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Premier League side are now favored to beat the Biancocelesti to the signature of the Hungarian prospect.

Notably, this sudden shift in the market could have a significant knock-on effect for other targets. Lazio are now expected to pivot their attention toward Bologna midfielder Giovanni Fabbian as a primary alternative. The Italian youngster had previously been of interest to Bournemouth as well, but the recent developments suggest a potential division of targets between the two clubs.

Indeed, the scenario appears to be resolving into a situation where each club takes one of the sought-after midfielders. With Bournemouth securing the advantage for Toth, Lazio are prepared to accelerate their pursuit of Fabbian to ensure they do not end the winter window without a necessary reinforcement for their central ranks.

Consequently, the next few days will be decisive for the formalization of both operations. As Bournemouth work to finalize the final details for the Ferencvaros man, Lazio are expected to initiate formal contact with Bologna to test the feasibility of bringing Fabbian to the capital.
