Ciro Immobile has admitted his “sadness” as he prepares to leave Lazio after 8 years, in a position to sign for Besiktas.
The 34-year-old Italian striker, who arrived in the Italian capital in July 2016, has agreed to sign for the Turkish club on a two-year contract worth around €6m net, including season plus add-ons. He will get around €3 million as part of the deal.
Immobile has been a central figure for Lazio for the past 8 years, scoring 207 goals and providing 54 assists in 340 appearances in all competitions, the club won a Coppa Italia and two Supercoppa Italiana titles. He has been captain of the club since the departure of Senad Lulic in 2021.
Speaking to La Repubblica Roma (via LazioNews24), Immobile spoke for the first time about his progress of his move to Besiktas, keeping it brief.
It’s a very sad day. When the time comes to separate, it will be difficult.
Then he asked to call his most productive goal in his 8 years with Lazio.
This Cagliari high heel.
