Lazio push for Hull target Pinamonti after Dieng deal collapses
Lazio are accelerating their pursuit of Andrea Pinamonti after seeing a deal for Le Havre striker Mo Dieng collapse. The Genoa-owned forward was reportedly close to joining the Biancocelesti before the French forward's move broke down, prompting Lazio to pivot to the 25-year-old Italian international. Pinamonti had also attracted interest from Hull City in the Championship, but Lazio appear to have moved ahead in the race for his signature. The striker has been capped by Italy and is seen as a domestic option to bolster Lazio's attacking department.

Pinamonti, a physical, box-oriented striker with international pedigree, would offer Igor Tudor a different profile from the dynamic Dieng, and his availability through Genoa — rather than a cross-border negotiation with Le Havre — makes this a more straightforward deal to complete. For Hull, losing out on a forward they had been tracking reinforces how Serie A clubs still hold the upper hand when competing for Italian national-team players.
