  "account": "Boulaye Dia, the Lazio striker, has officially joined Stade Rennais, his native French club. Dia, a Senegalese international, moved from Lazio to Villarreal in 2021 before joining Stade Rennais. The 29-year-old played primarily as a second striker/attacking midfielder in Marco Baroni’s 4-2-3-1 formation during his time at Lazio. However, he struggled to impose himself as a goal threat when playing as a centre-forward in Maurizio Sarri’s 4-3-3 system and Gennaro Gattuso’s recent team. Consequently, both Lazio and Rennais have agreed to part ways, with Dia agreeing to the move. According to Sky Sport Italia's transfer market expert, Gianluca Di Marzio, the overall cost of the deal is expected to reach €10 million, allowing Lazio to avoid a financial loss from the €11.3 million purchase. Dia will initially join Stade Rennais on loan and has the option to buy, which will become obligatory if certain sporting objectives are met.",
