GdS: Romagnoli closing in on Lazio move after salary offer was raised

AC Milan defender Alessio Romagnoli is closing in on a move to Lazio on a free transfer with his time at the Rossoneri drawing to an end.

Romagnoli joined Milan from Roma back in the summer of 2015 and has been a mainstay of the defence until the last season, where Fikayo Tomori and Pierre Kalulu became the first choice pairing.

La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews) writes that after the purchase of Marcos Antonio, Lazio are also ready to close the deal for Alessio Romagnoli. After the first offer of €2.5 net per season was rejected by the player and his entourage, the Biancocelesti decided to raise their bid.

Now, Lazio have met the player’s request of €3m per year and in the next few days, the definitive approval from Romagnoli should arrive as he will complete a move to his boyhood club after having spent seven years with the Rossoneri.
