Lazio have been chasing Alessio Romagnoli for a long time but they haven’t finalized a deal with him yet and Barcelona have also started watching him. That Blaugrana are looking for a defense attorney and could seize the opportunity to get a free one, AS informed.
According to the Spanish outlet, his agent Mino Raiola is on good terms with President Joan Laporta. If the Catalans really step up their interest, he could become their second Bosman signing from Milan after Franck Kessié.
Lazio’s big shots met Romagnoli’s entourage ten days ago but their offer was too low, allowing Barcelona and other interested parties to interrupt their talks. That Biancocelesti allegedly offered €2.2 million per year. Instead, the central defender demands 3.3 million euros plus surcharges. After the summit there were further contacts.
The defender returned to the Milan squad in the most recent game at the Stadio Olimpico after recovering from injury. The home team’s Ultras were not present to protest Claudio Lotito. As such, he was not particularly welcomed. That Curve had greeted him with some chants in previous games against the Rossoneri.
The defense attorney accepted Instagram to personally reject a report. A newspaper wrote that he had told one Biancocelesti Fan: “If it were up to me, I would get in tomorrow.” He replied: “I don’t understand how an outlet can come up with a sentence out of nowhere and without any respect.” Lazio need to increase their bid to take Romagnoli on board and keep Barcelona at bay.
