Dele-Bashiru has struggled for minutes in Rome this season and was widely tipped for a move away during the January transfer window. ​Turkish Super Lig side Trabzonspor was also linked with a potential transfer for the midfielder.

The Nigeria international, who joined Lazio from Hatayspor in 2024, will, however, remain in Italy until at least the end of the season.

​Dele-Bashiru has two-and-a-half years left on his contract with Lazio.
