Inter are ahead of Lazio in the race to sign Hellas Verona defender Marash Kumbulla according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.
Lazio have offered €20 million plus Andre Anderson to the Gialloblu club for Kumbulla but Inter have presented a better offer, although the report does not provide the details of the Nerazzurri’s bid.
Lazio are thinking about retouching their offer and could opt to insert another player into the offfer. That player could well be youngster Cristiano Lombardi, who has spent this season out on loan at Serie B club Salernitana.
The report from the Milan based news outlet goes on to explain that the next few days will be decisive for Kumbulla’s footballing future.
The Italian born Albanian international centre back has had his breakthrough campaign at Hellas Verona and is widely regarded as one of the best young defenders in Serie A.
This season the 20-year-old has made 26 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored a single goal.
