There has been a turning point in negotiations between Lazio and Hellas Verona over highly rated young defender Marash Kumbulla according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Tuttosport.
Lazio have been courting the Italian born Albanian national team for some time now and the feeling is that a deal will soon be done.
The reason for this is because there has been movement on the counterpart front. Initially Lazio were prepared to let Hellas Verona choose from Cristiano Lombardi, Fabio Maistro and Valon Berisha but now the most likely to move to the Gialloblu club is Andre Anderson.
Lazio appear set to win the race to land Kumbulla for €20 million plus a player and look to have beaten Inter among a host of other clubs to Kumbulla, who is widely regarded as one of the best young players in Serie A at the moment.
This season he has made 23 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored a single goal.
