What happened: Al Sadd have agreed personal terms with defender Alessio Romagnoli, who has accepted the Qatari club's proposal, according to Fabrizio Romano. There is no club-by-club agreement with Lazio yet, with talks ongoing over the deal's details. Al Sadd are reported to be confident of closing the transfer within the next week.

Why it matters: A departure would remove an experienced center-back from Lazio's backline and continue a period of reshaping at the club, which has already seen change in the dugout amid Maurizio Sarri's expected move to Atalanta. The player's acceptance shifts the remaining hurdle to the institutional agreement between the two clubs.

What to watch: Watch for a club-by-club agreement between Al Sadd and Lazio on transfer fee and structure, which Romano reports could be finalized within the next week.
