Initially, there was speculation that Lazio would delay their decision regarding Dele-Bashiru’s reinstatement, and the possibility of him moving away from the Stadio Olimpico was still on the table.
For the time being, Dele-Bashiru is eligible to play in the league, but it remains uncertain whether his future will be with Lazio or elsewhere.
