Lazio star would favour Juventus move

 

Lazio striker Keita Balde would prefer a move to Juventus if he is to leave the Rome side this summer, reports Calciomercato.com. 

 

Keita enjoyed a fine campaign for Lazio, firing in 16 goals as Simone Inzaghi guided the club to a fifth placed finish. 

 

His good form up front has seen him linked with a move to the Premier League, with Tottenham and Liverpool both rumoured to be keen on the Senegal international. 

 

The duo are thought to have seen bids rejected for Keita, who can also play out wide as well as lead the attack.

Lazio are believed to be holding out for bids of €25m for the 22-year-old, who current contract expires next summer. 

 

AC Milan are thought to have agreed terms with Lazio over a fee, but it’s believed the striker is instead holding out for bids from Juventus. 

 

The Serie A champions are reluctant to match Lazio’s asking price, yet have an agreement for the youngster, though Lazio are hoping to convince Keita to stay and extend his current deal at the Stadio Olimpico.
