Lazio has officially confirmed the permanent transfer of defender Patric to UAE second division side Al-Ittifaq on Monday's transfer deadline day. The Spanish center-back departs Rome after an 11-year spell that began in 2015, during which he registered 244 appearances across all competitions for the Biancocelesti.
