Norwegian defender MortenIsaksen is at the center of a new contract renewal project for Lazio, with the club aiming to extend his stay until 2030. Isaksen's current contract expires on 30 June 2028, but the Biancocelesti have already started negotiations with the player's agent for a new signing which, in addition to ensuring continuity, could increase the defender's market value.
The current season has seen Isaksen emerge as a decisive "driver", with three goals and an assist in a few matches, including the match against Monza. His style of play, characterized by a strong physical impact and precision in free kicks, attracted the attention of all the fans and managers. The defender has also proven to be a point of reference on the pitch, helping to maintain the team's defensive solidity and creating scoring opportunities for his teammates.
The club stated that negotiations are ongoing and that the parties are evaluating the figures and duration of the new contract. Lazio wants to avoid reaching 2027 without a signed agreement, so as to be able to plan the team's future with serenity and, possibly, take advantage of a capital gain if the player were to be sold. The expected duration of the new contract is two years, with an extension until 2030, which would allow the club to keep the player on the pitch for a longer period and benefit from any increases in value.
The defender, who is 25 years old, has already proven to be a key element for Lazio, especially under the guidance of Gattuso, who has expressed confidence in his maturity and ability to contribute to the team's success. Negotiations are still ongoing, but Lazio seem determined to guarantee Isaksen's continuity and make the most of his talent. With the season still underway, the next few days will be decisive in finalizing a deal that could influence the direction of the team in the coming years.
