keita-balde-diao

Corriere dello Sport confirms: “Keita now seems very close to Inter. The official should be imminent. Inter (Spalletti and his players are departing today hoping to get him as soon as possible in the group for China) will take part in the ICC. The striker last night did return from Milan and reached Lazio. Within two or three days, he will reach Spalletti and his new companions. The operation for Inter-Keita can materialize quickly. The turning point was yesterday when the Senegalese was in Milan, had lunch with his agent Calenda and girlfriend before meeting President Lotito. Keita made his intentions clear to Lotito – ‘I do not want to renew my contract with Lazio’. Lotito took note of this decision, but Keita imposed a different solution from that of Juventus.”

Juventus offered 10-12M to Lazio whereas Inters proposal is much higher.
“The negotiations gained traction when Lotito got Keita to accept a different solution to the Juventus option which is more convenient for Lazio.”
