Milan’s interest has been going on for some considerable time and the club has a stronger rapport with Lazio.

Keita just turned 22 and is on sparkling form, scoring 13 goals with three assists in 28 Serie A appearances this season.

He netted a hat-trick against Palermo and on Sunday scored twice in their 3-1 Derby della Capitale victory over Roma.

While a contract renewal had seemed improbable a few weeks ago, there are reports in La Repubblica that Lazio are increasingly optimistic they can strike a new deal.

Born in Spain and originally part of the Barcelona youth academy, Keita left in 2011 to join Lazio for a nominal fee, as he was irritated by the strict rules of the Cantera.
