Lazio agree three-year deal for free agent Diogo Leite

Serie A watchers who keep Lazio live on their where-to-watch list have a completed defensive signing to file before the next home card at the Olimpico. The club have agreed a three-year contract with centre-back Diogo Leite after he left Union Berlin as a free agent.

Fabrizio Romano reported the terms on 5 September: three years, plus an extra year as an option. Leite was out of contract at Union Berlin. There is no transfer fee attached to the move because he arrived as a free agent. That is the hard fact. It is not a loan and it is not an unnamed short-term trial.

What is confirmed

The agreement covers the Portuguese defender through a three-year base term. The option year is part of the same package Romano published. Registration and a first appearance still sit with the club's medical and paperwork calendar; this desk is not inventing a debut date or a starting XI.

For readers who opened soccer games today looking for Lazio vs a Serie A opponent live, the squad note is simple: another senior centre-back is on agreed terms in Rome. Union Berlin are no longer his club. Lazio are.
