Lazio have targeted a move for free agent Ivan Ivanov.

The Biancocelesti’s backline has been a constant source of frustration this season, with Stefano Pioli seeking reinforcements before the transfer window slams shut.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Aquile will move for the 27-year-old central defender before the closure of the current transfer window.

The Bulgarian’s contract at FC Basel was rescinded in December meaning the capital club would only have to match the defender’s wage demands.

Ivanov has collected 40 caps for the Bulgarian national side since he made his debut in 2008.

The most fruitful spell of his career came at FK Partizan where he accumulated 59 appearances in two years before departing for Switzerland.

The services of veteran defender Milan Bisevac were secured earlier in this transfer window but the Serbian has been struck down by injury.
