Lazio are considering a shock move to bring back out-of-favour Inter Milan forward Joaquin Correa this summer.
This according to Italian news outlet Calciomercato.com. They report that the Biancocelesti have already been in contact with the 29-year-old’s agents about the possibility of a move.

However, the Argentine endured a disastrous campaign with the Ligue 1 side. he failed to score or assist a goal over the course of the season.
