Lazio President Claudio Lotito Couild Allow Francesco Acerbi To Join Inter On Loan To Get His Situation Sorted Out, Italian Media Report

Lazio President Claudio Lotito could open up to sending defender Francesco Acerbi on loan to Inter as the transfer window comes to a close.

This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, who report that the Biancocelesti could be willing to sanction the loan deal in order to get rid of the headache represented by the 34-year-old continuing to remain at the club.

Inter consider Acerbi as one of the main options to replace Andrea Ranocchia as a low-cost backup to Stefan de Vrij at the heart of the defense for the season.

However, trying to agree on a deal with Lotito could represent a major obstacle to signing the 34-year-old especially if the Lazio President is to hold out for a significant fee.

However, given that the capital club are clearly keen to offload Acerbi, having already signed replacements and not wishing to pay his net €2.5 million wages for the season, they could open to a loan deal in the end.
