Lazio President Claudio Lotito has accused Juventus of making a derisory bid for Keita Balde Diao. “The offer didn’t even reach €15m!”
Beppe Marotta claimed earlier in the week that Juve had bid for Keita, with Sky Sport Italia elaborating the Bianconeri’s offer was to the tune of €20m.

Beppe Marotta claimed earlier in the week that Juve had bid for Keita, with Sky Sport Italia elaborating the Bianconeri’s offer was to the tune of €20m.
However, Lotito [pictured, right] bit back via Il Messaggero: “It’s not true whatsoever.
“They’re leaking this news deliberately. Their offer doesn’t even reach €15m.”
There had also been talk that the Aquile were considering a swap deal involving the Senegal forward and Eder, but the latter does not want to leave Inter, while Lotito remains intent on keeping his man.
Meanwhile, Lazio will reportedly save €12m by choosing Espanyol attacker Felipe Caicedo over Iran star Sardar Azmoun.
Caicedo would arrive for a fee in the region of €6m, while Rubin Kazan are said to have rejected €18m for Azmoun.
