Lazio Tracking Bundesliga Teenager Who Made His Debut Against Roma

Lazio are reportedly closely monitoring the progress of Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Ebu Bekir İş, who could potentially join the club on a free transfer. The Biancocelesti have been grappling with financial difficulties, which could lead to another transfer ban ahead of January. In an attempt to prevent this, they may turn to young talents instead of signing established players.

TuttoMercatoWeb reports that Lazio are interested in İş, an 18-year-old defensive midfielder who has been playing for Eintracht Frankfurt’s B-team. In the current season, he has made 13 appearances and contributed with three assists. The teenager's contract is set to expire in the summer, and the Bundesliga club has the option to extend it for another year.

This means that Lazio may have to pay a modest transfer fee if they decide to sign him in January or later. İş, who has Turkish roots, has been playing for Germany at the international level. He recently made his debut for the senior national team in a Europa League match against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico in January 2025, becoming the third-youngest player in the competition's history at the age of 16 years and 121 days.
