Agent says former Liverpool target wants Lazio exit amid Juve, AC Milan links

Agent says former Liverpool target wants Lazio exit amid Juve, AC Milan links

Keita Balde is one of the most wanted Serie A stars at the moment. The Senegalese winger was offered a chance to move to Liverpool before the Reds signed Mohammed Salah and now he is a transfer target of Juventus and AC Milan. The player’s contract with Lazio expires in 2018 and the player is not willing to sign a contract extension. The player’s agent Roberto Calenda has released an interview with Il Corriere dello Sport to talk about his client’s transfer status.

“Keita is available in the market. Lazio have never made a contract extension offer and we know Lazio have hired some people in order to sell him. They have never informed us about offers by other clubs. Reading about offers of English clubs make me laugh, Keita is sad because he feels he’s never been important for Lazio.”

“I know Lazio have an agreement with AC Milan but we want to understand which is their project. We do not have any agreement with Juventus, we don’t want to see Keita leave as a free agent as that could have a bad impact on Lazio. The best thing would be to sell the player this summer, all the parties involved in a deal would be happy then.”
