Lazio seeks to terminate Samuel Gigot's contract amid injury woes

Summary

Lazio is reportedly attempting to rescind Samuel Gigot's contract due to persistent physical issues. Gigot, who joined from Olympique Marseille in 2024, has not played since the 2025 season due to back and ankle injuries. His recovery attempt under new coach Gennaro Gattuso has not progressed, resulting in missed pre-season activities. Lazio aims to finalise a contract termination agreement, as Gigot is one of the club's highest earners with a €4 million annual salary.
