Francesco Acerbi’s newly appointed agent Federico Pastorello has admitted he is unaware of any interest in his client despite multiple reports linking the Lazio centre back with clubs.
In the past few days Inter and Chelsea in particular have been linked with the 32-year-old who is having one of, if not, the best seasons of his playing career.
In an interview with Italian news outlet LaLazioSiamoNoi.it, Pastorello said: “I read about Chelsea and Inter, but I don’t know much about it. What I can certainly say is that Francesco is a defender who could play for any club in Europe.”
The report from the same source goes on to state that Lazio do not wish to sell the former Sassuolo defender. He is currently under contract until the end of the 2022/23 season with an annual salary of €1.5 million but Lazio could offer him a new contract with an increased salary of €2.5 million.
Acerbi has made 33 appearances across all competitions to date this term. In just over 2900 minutes on the field, Acerbi, who is a six time Italian international, has contributed two goals and also provided two assists for teammates.
