Attributed to original sourceLazio are reportedly trying to sign USMNT and Milan midfielder Yunus Musah on loan with option to buy for a total €20m, as Leeds United and Ipswich Town remain interested.
The 23-year-old is under contract with the Rossoneri until June 2028 and just returned to base after a disappointing loan spell with Atalanta.
He has failed to live up to the €21.2m fee paid to Valencia in 2023, and struggled for regular playing time.

Milan would much prefer to make a guaranteed sale , so are eager for Premier League sides like Leeds United and Ipswich Town to step up and make a firm proposal.
Meanwhile, new Milan coach Ruben Amorim is trying to evaluate Musah’s characteristics during pre-season training to decide whether or not to keep him in the squad.
The versatile midfielder made 27 appearances for Atalanta last season, contributing two goals and one assist.
However, only six of those matches were from the start.

What happened
Lazio have tabled a renewed offer for USMNT midfielder Yunus Musah, who is surplus to requirements at AC Milan. Milan are not entirely satisfied with Lazio's proposal and are hoping Premier League sides Leeds United or Ipswich Town will make competing bids, potentially forcing the price up. Musah, who joined Milan from Valencia in 2023 for around €20m, has struggled for consistent playing time and is available for transfer this window. The situation remains fluid with several clubs monitoring the player's situation.
Chance analysis
This is a midfield depth/rotation story with potential cross-league dynamics. For Lazio, adding Musah would provide box-to-box energy and Serie A experience, though Milan appear to be using Lazio's interest as leverage. Milan's hope of attracting Premier League bids suggests they value the player higher than Lazio's current offer. For prediction systems, this affects Milan's midfield options going into the new season and Lazio's squad construction. The Premier League links remain tentative and should be weighted accordingly.
Musah's departure would slightly weaken Milan's midfield depth while Lazio would gain a dynamic, if inconsistent, box-to-box midfielder.
Monitor Musah's destination closely — if he stays at Milan, they retain midfield depth; if sold, Milan's midfield options are reduced and Lazio gain a versatile option.
