With Alessio Romagnoli set to leave Milan at the end of the season, Lazio are preparing to make room to accommodate him financially, according to one report.
Milan have tabled a contract offer to Romagnoli, a deal worth less than his current contract, but the defender is looking to hold out for a better offer, be it from the Rossoneri or elsewhere.
Tuttomercatoweb (via MilanNews) report that Romagnoli is firmly a part of Maurizio Sarri’s planning for an overhaul at Lazio, presenting him the chance to return to Rome, but with his boyhood club instead.
Despite the 27-year-old being available on a free transfer, however, Lazio are looking to free up their finances. Letting several contracts expire has helped, but making certain players available for sale is also a consideration, namely Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
Romagnoli could be part of a new-look Lazio, in a hunt for regular game time once again.
