Lazio tracks Schalke full-back Vitalie Becker with expiring contract

Summary

Lazio is reportedly monitoring Vitalie Becker, a young left-back from FC Schalke 04, following his impressive role in the club's promotion to the Bundesliga last season. The 21-year-old contributed two goals and an assist in 21 appearances. While Becker holds German and Russian passports, he currently represents Germany at youth levels. An immediate transfer appears complicated, as Lazio would need an agreement with Schalke, but with Becker's contract expiring in June 2027, a move next summer is possible. Lazio has several left-back options, having recently signed Alfonso Pedraza, potentially paving the way for future changes in their squad.
